RE: [gentoo-user] Printing from OpenOffice with Cups

[Allen Parker]

Just a suggestion, if you're printing with HP OfficeJet, emerge hpoj AND
hpijs, if you're not sure if you should use hpoj, check
http://hpoj.sf.net/suplist.shtml ... if you're using HP ANYTHING, I suggest
that you emerge hpijs (the HP InkJet GhostScript server, which will allow
you to print PostScript on single function, photo, and business inkjets and
PCL laser printers with nicer looking results). If you're using a PostScript
HP printer, use the linuxprinting.org PPD's for HP and you should be set.

I hope that my input helped!

I only really watch #gentoo-dev, so if you need to contact me, please /query
me instead of asking for me in channel, if I'm around, I'll respond
immediately, otherwise, who knows when I'll respond.

Yeah, openoffice-ximian totally uses CUPS to handle all the print work.

(so, assuming you have CUPS as your print infrastructure, and have that
working, life rocks. Can't tell you off hand how things go if you're not
using CUPS.)

It's a bit slow to pull up the printer properties dialog boxes, but the
behavior overall is excellent. Printing from OO 1.1 to an HP LaserJet
via a network JetDirect port works nice and smooth.

I guess so, because spadmin exists and works in my system. Running it, I
see my configured printer in my apps, and it prints fine.

I knew that was the old way, but is it still valid?

I'm runnig Ximian-OO1.1 from BMG and spadmin isn't even available, it
just works with cups right out of the ebuild. Has Ximian done something
good for printing with their OO.

Run:  
/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/spadmin

Select: Add a printer...

Follow the on-screen directions. You may need to search for your
printers ppd file. Gentoo compresses them, so for my printer I had to do
the following:

zcat \
  /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-ppds/HP/HP-PhotoSmart_P1315-hpijs.ppd.gz \
   > /tmp/HP-PhotoSmart_P1315-hpijs.ppd

And then press the "Import..." button in the printer selection dialog to
import that printer. If your printer is listed in the default list then
you can skip that step.

HTH,
Keith
