Description of problem: If e.g. the printing destination is currently not available (say cupsd crashed), OOo doesn't report an error when the underlying lpr/lp clearly brings an error message (can be seen when starting OOo from a terminal) and status (can bee seen when manually running lpr/lp or stracing OOo). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.5.fc3 cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8 How reproducible: Reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 0. Take care that printing on the destination you want to try for testing doesn't work, e.g. firewall off the printing host with "iptables -I INPUT 1 -d <printhostip> -j REJECT" 1. print something with lpr/lp, e.g. "lpr -P<printhost> /etc/hosts", see error message and status 2. print something with OOo to the same destination Actual results: It seems like the print job had been fulfilled. Expected results: It should have popped up an error dialog that printing didn't work (and possibly necessary info to aid in debugging the problem).
