Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 286221
OpenOffice.org cannot use a custom print command from the gnome print dialog
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:15 EST
Description of problem: I prefer printing with lpr instead of cups. However, if I try to print a document then oowriter responds with an error message instead of producing a printout. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.0-14.11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 'gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file"' >> /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc 2. oowriter 3. Type some rubbish 4. File -> Print 5. select "Print to LPR" 6. press Print Actual results: OOo UNKNOWN PRINTER "Print to LPR" (in the terminal where oowriter was started) Expected results: a printed document
What we need is to be able to propogate the print command down from the dialog to the printing backend which was missing, I've added this and it'll be in F-8, and it will be in openoffice.org >= :2.2.1-18.3.fc7 if we do another update for F-7
Thanks for this. I peeked in cvs for the code and I now have it working on my copy. Incidentally there seems to be a missing ')' on one of the lines.
Yeah, missing ), hope that didn't waste 8 hours of your life on a throwaway build
After the recent update of openoffice I have the problem that the print-dialog accepts the order for multiple copies, but only one is printed.(Before this update things worked as expected.C
All should be well in 2.3.0-6.4.fc7
