I'd definitely like to see them. The printer issues have all but ruined by move from lotus smartsuite (running on windows terminal server/metaframe) to all linux apps for office type work.
I've tried to spend some time looking at printing solutions and havent really come up with much. I've had kprinter,cups,xprint also reccomended. I may be wrong, but does anyone know how could cups solve the problem? Isn't it just a backend like lprng or does it have some gui stuff to facilitate picking a printer too? While already off topic, anybody had any trouble getting openoffice to print documents that were opened off the web or out of email? I havent seen it happen with documents we've created, but almost everytime someone opens something (ms office doc or xls) the document opens fine but will not print. They get no errors, but no output either. It could be something in the document, or maybe because its opened out of a temporary file. I havent the slightest idea how to try to trace this down, and I also dont understand how to navigate the issue database at openoffice.org. If folks could print attachments out of openoffice(where you can already set up multiple printers), a printer list in the other apps wouldn't be quite as urgent. I also wonder if other apps could be set up to psprint (the openoffice printer system), that way the printers could be set up at least only twice :). It just seems like alot of redundancy just to duplicate some simple functionality users already take for granted. In my opinion this is a huge issue with linux in general that needs to be resolved. I'm sure this mailing list really isnt the place for either. -Jeff > Jeff, > I wasn't following this thread so I am not 100% sure on what your > trouble is so please forgive me if this is OT. > > I don't use xdialog, I use xmessage to pop a box that provides a user > with a list of available printers based on which client they are on. > Basically I replace lpr with a little script that grabs the print job > and "pre"-spools it, asks what the user > wants to do, then send it off to the real lpr. > > I do have the scripts available that I use if you want them. > > Pete > -- > http://www.elbnet.com > ELB Internet Service, Inc. > Web Design, Computer Consulting, Internet Hosting > > > PS Julius: You are *supposed* to be on vacation! > > > Julius Szelagiewicz wrote: >> >> Jeff, >> no, but Peter Billson does, ad he is on this list and he has >> shared them before :-) >> >> On Thu, 13 Mar 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> > Julius, >> > I checked out xdialog's documentation.
