------- Additional comments from crx...@openoffice.org Wed Jun 3 11:42:56 +0000 2009 ------- @mba: Oh, I understand WHY OO emulates collation- non-page-printers (cheap inkjet, for example) can't collate on their own. And before OO started really using CUPS, there probably weren't a whole lot of options to interact with printers correctly. And OO is not the only application under Linux that does this (it just affects us the most). It would be best left up to CUPS to handle the whole collate process. I don't know enough about CUPS to know if it has a readable property to determine if the printer can collate on its own. I also don't know if you can tell CUPS to do the collation, and CUPS will decide if the printer is smart or stupid and handle it properly, itself. This is, of course, the root cause of our issues. Perhaps this CUPS interaction concept should be yet another issue number, assigned to PRINT? @pl/mba: Our (my) problem would be 75% solved with just adding persistence. However, if there is no way for me to get the starting default to be OFF, some of my problem remains, since I am forced to rely on education to let every user know they need to change it manually, at least once. And, then, every time there is an upgrade. I would still hope for a sysadmin setting/config file, or environment variable or something. But I will take whatever I can get as a major improvement over what we have right now. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
