[libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
Just installed 3.5.2.2 as an update in FreeBSD (8.3, AMD64 and i386) and am unable to configure printers following the LibreOffice help page for installing printers under unix. As well, there is no default printer. Following the help page instructions, I have gone to install-path/libreoffice/program and have attempted to run spadmin. Doing so, I receive an error message (message panel) telling me that no printers can be installed because the file system is read-only, but no indication what filesystem it's referring to. So, where do I look or, better yet, what do I do to get my printers configured? I've been told, informally, that LO has gone from supporting lpd/lp printing to a cups-only regime. If so, I suggest that this is a major blunder since cups is not appropriate for many situations - small installations with few users, desktops with attached printers, etc. What's the truth here?

For to get your own set of styles you have to generate a document and save it as document template. You can made your favorite template a default then. Only in very few cases it is necessary to create own, independent styles, but in most cases it is better to alter an existing styles to contain the settings you need. Such changes do not effect other document templates.

HTH, -- Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Bordeaux Perhaps the first step is to get the Writer Guide from http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation. Since you are interested in using styles in Writer, Download the ODT rather than the PDF version. There are two chapters on styles that you should study, and I think chapter 9 is also important. There also is a chapter on templates that you should find useful. At the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window is a drop down list. One of the selections is Custom Styles. (The default setting is Automatic for USA English.) Create your own styles, and select Custom from the drop down list. You will only see the styles you created. All of the user guides listed on that web page is written almost exclusively with custom styles. Open the Writer Guide in LO, open the Styles and Formatting window, and select Custom Styles from the drop down list I mentioned. And if you want to see all of the custom styles, click on the icons at the top of the window. From left to right, you have Paragraph Styles, Character Styles, Page Styles, and List Styles. The last two icons are Fill Format Mode (See Writer Guide), and New Styles from Selection. When I'm using Writer, I usually select Applied Styles from the drop down list rather than Custom Styles. This allows me to find the style I want easier. If I find that I need to use a custom style, I select Custom Styles at the bottom and apply it. Then it appears in the Applied Styles lists when I need it the next time. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
Well, ALL my printers, network and USB, have CUPS-based drivers. One only has a CUPS-based driver and not any other type. What is wrong with CUPS for the single user printing systems? I use a Ubuntu desktop with 4 different printers, one being an older USB printer. I have not had any problems with CUPS based drivers. I still use 3.4.6, so I do not know about 3.5.2.2, but my question is why CUPS is not appropriate for desktops with attached printers.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Can't find Commands window in LO Math
Hello,
Thank you for your quick responses.
I already tried to add a formula by clicking Insert - Object - Formula in
Writer, and I got the problem described in my original post. Here is a
screenshot of what I see in a Writer document after I do Insert - Object -
Formula:
http://imgur.com/HevWr
On the side there is also the Elements window, but there is NO Commands
window, nor any space for me to enter the markup. I also tried to look for
the small dotted area indicating a hidden window, but can't find it...
If I try to enter A =left[matrix{1 # 2 # 3 ## 4 # 5 # 6 ## 7 # 8 # 9}right]
directly into the formula box in the document, I get this:
http://imgur.com/ZBIns
I also already downloaded the LO Math guide, but it doesn't help. The
screenshot in the guide shows the LO Writer window split in half, where
the bottom half is for entering the markup. But again, as you can see in my
posted screenshots, there is no such place.
I am very confused, can you point me further in the right direction?
Thanks!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
You want to use it, that's fine. I should probably have said it's not necessary for all printing environments, such as desktops with attached printer. CUPS adds a layer of complexity to an otherwise simple installation - lpd/lp just work. If that's not the case with you and CUPS slides into place and works, great. Just remember, one size does NOT fit all. Bob Melson [ Charset UTF-8 unsupported, converting... ] Well, ALL my printers, network and USB, have CUPS-based drivers. One only has a CUPS-based driver and not any other type. What is wrong with CUPS for the single user printing systems? I use a Ubuntu desktop with 4 different printers, one being an older USB printer. I have not had any problems with CUPS based drivers. I still use 3.4.6, so I do not know about 3.5.2.2, but my question is why CUPS is not appropriate for desktops with attached printers. Never have heard this before and I have been using CUPS since Ubuntu 9.04.

Hi, I've only used Libreoffice in Ubuntu.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
I might add that up until the 3.5.2.2 release, printing worked just fine, right out of the box.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
This will sound snotty, I know, but I really don't mean it to. I'm very happy that those of you who successfully use CUPS on your systems, whatever the o/s happens to be, can do so. But that doesn't answer my basic question of how to get LO 3.5.2.2 to work as it did in previous releases, WITHOUT cups. Everything else installed on my system, without exception, works with the lpd/lp printer queues and daemon and, because it worked in the same environment previously, there's no reason that LO should not. If LO has changed to _require_ cups and only cups in order to print, then I submit that that's a major blunder on the part of the developers - not everybody who wants to run LO needs or wants cups. So, the questions are, first, is it true that LO REQUIRES cups since the last release and, second, if not, how can I configure LO to recognize and accept my printers? I have followed the printer installation and setup guides provided by LO and regularly get an error panel telling me that printers can't be installed because the file system is read-only. I'm not told WHAT file system (which might give me a chance to work around the problem if I knew), nor is there any indication that there are any special requirements, like cups, that must be met before I can configure my printers in LO. Bob Melson Hi, I've been running Linux (Ubuntu) for 3+ years with nothing but cups drivers. There have been about 8 different printers, some inkjet and some laser, some networked and some not networked. Cups is the only thing I've ever used. I've had very, very few issues. Basically almost none. Don On 04/29/2012 08:03 AM, webmaster-Kracked_P_P wrote: Well, ALL my printers, network and USB, have CUPS-based drivers.

I use a Ubuntu desktop with 4 different printers, one being an older USB printer. I have not had any problems with CUPS based drivers. I still use 3.4.6, so I do not know about 3.5.2.2, but my question is why CUPS is not appropriate for desktops with attached printers.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
Jay, Thanks. I've built and re-built LO from source twice, now, and continue to receive the same error. I don't believe it's a corrupted driver that's causing the problem and, in fact, may be nothing more than a minor error in the source code that causes LO to behave as it does. On the other hand, if it's true that LO now requires cups, that needs to be stated in the documentation (which it isn't, as far as I can tell).

[libreoffice-users] Re: Can't find Commands window in LO Math
I went to the bug report for https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46071 bug 46071 , and indeed that was my problem. The https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46071#c3 third comment by Andy gave a macro that fixes this issue. In LibreOffice Writer, I clicked on Tools - Macros - Organise Macros - LibreOffice Basic... In the LibreOffice Basic Macros window, I added a New macro, then replaced the default code that appears with the following: Sub RemoveMathEquationWindowSettings p = CreateUnoStruct(com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue) p.Name = nodepath p.Value = /org.openoffice.Office.Views/Windows cp = CreateUnoService(com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider) ca = cp.createInstanceWithArguments(_ com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess, Array(p)) name = 30378 If ca.hasByName(name) Then ca.removeByName(name) ca.commitChanges() End If End Sub Then I clicked on the button labeled Runs the first macro of the current module to run the code, and the problem was fixed. Now I can see the Commands window, and was able to enter the example matrix suggested by Pedro. Many thanks to Regina for pointing me to the bug report, Andy for posting the macro, and Pedro for the example matrix!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
Hi :) Have you tried the Forums/Mailing-Lists for whichever version of BSD you are using? You can usually find an appropriate forum from http://distrowatch.com or/and it might be good to contact the LO devs http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2/ I think there might be problems with trying to compile the official source code in BSD.

I've built and re-built LO from source twice, now, and continue to receive the same error. I don't believe it's a corrupted driver that's causing the problem and, in fact, may be nothing more than a minor error in the source code that causes LO to behave as it does.

Tom, I'm pretty sure I just went through the install in a normal fashion. I didn't specify anything strange. Actually it is all my spreadsheets that have column type charts. I'm kind of busy right now, but if I can... maybe I'll try to cleanse out one of them and post it on the board.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2
Tom, Thanks for the suggestion. LO 3.5.2.2 is in the official FreeBSD ports tree and is my source for the source. I've contacted the FBSD LO maintainer and have filed a bug report with FBSD. I'm just now getting ready to file a bug report with LO, so we'll see what comes of _that_. Bob Melson [ Charset ISO-8859-1 unsupported, converting... ] Hi :) Have you tried the Forums/Mailing-Lists for whichever version of BSD you are using?? You can usually find an appropriate forum from http://distrowatch.com or/and it might be good to contact the LO devs http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2/ I think there might be problems with trying to compile the official source code in BSD.? I think a few people in the BSD community did port the code to BSD.?

I've built and re-built LO from source twice, now, and continue to receive the same error.? I don't believe it's a corrupted driver that's causing the problem and, in fact, may be nothing more than a minor error in the source code that causes LO to behave as it does.? On the other hand, if it's true that LO now requires cups, that needs to be stated in the documentation (which it isn't, as far as I can tell).

LO detected the system printers, allowed additional printers to be added and configured .. in short, all was right wit the world. With 3.5.2.2, however, SOMETHING has changed, and for the worst.? A wise man once said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.? It wasn't broke but it's been fixed. Bob Melson I have continuously upgraded from 3.3 to 3.5.2.2 and have no problems with the LO printing using various Ubuntu derivatives and Windows 7. Have you tried reinstalling the printer(s) in the OS? Maybe the printer driver got corrupted. LO recognizes the installed printers properly. The only time I had a printing problem was when the driver was corrupted (do not know how it happened). Reinstalling the driver in the OS corrected the problem. [ Charset ISO-8859-1 unsupported, converting... ] A long time ago I had to configure all the printers for OO/SO with spadmin. Are you calling spadmin as root? Yep.? I think if I knew what file system the error panel in spadmin is complaining about I might be able to get things accomplished.? I've tried changing permissions on every directory in the path to the libreoffice executables, as well as on the dot files in the root directory, all with no result. I've looked at the /var files for the printer queues and snooped in the cups directories here and there on system.? All with no result. The frustration is that everything else on the system recognizes lpd and plays nicely in that environment.? It's ONLY LO that fails to detect any printers/queues and, because of that, does not allow printing.? If this is because it requires cups, then, IMNSHO, it's a gross error of planning and implementation that needs to be rectified.

I use Linux MInt and my printer is configured in the OS not LO. Following the help page instructions, I have gone to install-path/libreoffice/program and have attempted to run spadmin. Doing so, I receive an error message (message panel) telling me that no printers can be installed because the file system is read-only, but no indication what filesystem it's referring to.? So, where do I look or, better yet, what do I do to get my printers configured? I've been told, informally, that LO has gone from supporting lpd/lp printing to a cups-only regime.? If so, I suggest that this is a major
