Well frankly I've never printed multipage documents under Abiword. I always use Staroffice :) So I tried it. Apart from some loading problems (Abiword just disappeared on me ) forcing me to load/open from the commandline--no problems. On clicking the print button (9 page document) the dialog pops up, I change "lpr" to "qtcups" and press -print-. Then the cups-print dialog pops-up and that's the normal printqueu for me. I'd check out the page settings of both dialogs and see if there's something awry there, if the problem persists. Harm Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Printing with Abi Word
Thanx for everyones help, go figure it now works, I dropped the file from Konqueror onto the printer icon and it printed with AbiWord formatting, I then went into Abi Word and as someone else stated it printed the last page only?? But I can request whichever page want and it will print that page out. If anyone knows why Abi Word will only print the last page I am courious.

Abiword certainly isn't perfect yet, but it shouldn't/doesn't do that :-p Got anymore info? What printer? Were you using the lpr command i.e. do you print through ghostscript or cups? If you enter the qtcups command instead of the lpr, the cups dialog (same as the one the printer-icon on the desktop gives) should appear. Which gives you quite a lot of fine-tune options if you dig any deeper. Otherwise you can always give turboprint a try, they're at www.turboprint.de (not .com), the webpage is very transparent :) Harm Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Instead of "lpr" use "qtcups" and it should work. To check if it's working, open a console and type: lpq it should read something like this; Printer is ready and printing RankOwner Job File(s) Total Size active harm35 file:/ 20480 bytes to stop a running or queued printing job, type: lprm and enter the job number when asked. good luck, Harm Bathoorn.
