------- Additional comments from mainframer...@openoffice.org Thu Feb 10 19:28:14 +0000 2011 ------- My objective is to automate printing from a Windows platform using IPP and SMB printers. To do this I want to issue command line print requests. Windows command line Print and LPR commands will not wortk with IPP and SMB so I am looking at using an OpenOffice command line request with the -pt option. On a Windows XP SP3 platform I submitted a command line print request using the -pt option: soffice -pt "printer-name" "C:\test_files\worddoc.doc" or soffice -writer -pt "printer-name" "C:\test_files\worddoc.doc" The document was always printed on the default printer. I have seen many issues similar to or exactly like this one in the OpenOffice Issue Tracker. For example issue 41953 is exactly like the one I have now except it was opened in 2005 on OOo 1.1.9. I believe that problem still exists in OOo 3.3. Experimenting a little I tried other printer types (Local and Network) and discovered the following: Specified Default printer Output Printed Chose which Printer-name name on ... Printer? --------------- --------------- -------------- ---------- IPP1 (Network) LPT1x(Local) LPT1x(Local) Default IPP2 (Network) IPP1x(Network) IPP1x(Network) Default IPP1 (Network) IPP1x(Network) IPP1x(Network) Default (maybe) IPP1 (Network) PM1 (Local) PM1 (Local) Default SMB1 (Network) LPT1x(Local) LPT1x(Local) Default SMB2 (Network) SMB1 (Network) SMB1 (Network) Default SMB1 (Network) SMB1 (Network) SMB1 (Network) Default (maybe) SMB1 (Network) PM1 (Local) PM1 (Local) Default LPT1x(Local) IPP1 (Network) LPT1x(Local) Specified LPT1x(Local) SMB1 (Network) LPT1x(Local) Specified PM1 (Local) LPT1 (Local) PM1 (Local) Specified PM1 (Local) SMB1 (Network) PM1 (Local) Specified LPT1x(Local) PM1 (Local) LPT1x(Local) Specified PM is a Port Monitor. Conclusion: 1. If the specified printer is a Windows defined network printer the -pt option will always choose the default printer, even if the default printer is another network defined printer. 2. If the specified printer is a Windows defined local printer the -pt option will always choose the specified printer. Can you look into this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
