[libreoffice-users] Typography Toolbar
Is there any way to remove individual items from the typography toolbar? The normal Customize Toolbars command doesn't list it. I'm using LibreOffice 4.3.3.2 on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 by the way. There are two reasons I would like to trim it down. The first, and most important, is that the Graphite implementation of LibreOffice is incomplete - in itself not a big problem, but will cause a system lockup if a feature like name is inadvertantly clicked. The second is simply that I don't anticipate ever using some of the features and would like to reclaim the space. The Alternative Search toolbar is also missing from the Customize Toolbars menu, but since that only has one item, isn't a big issue, although it would be nice to just move that item on to the regular tool bar where the normal search and replace are located. Is this code I can hack myself? If so, where is it located? Any help would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Typography-Toolbar-tp4137070.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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 from Linux, Kubuntu/Ubuntu
I do not know if you can multi-boot two different versions of Ubuntu based distro, or so I was told a few years ago. Be nice to have 13.10 for my photo printing on my default photo printer and 14.04LTS or newer for the rest of the work. As someone told me - off list - CUPS should be installed with the distro, but in my experience not all of the versions I have installed do so until you need it for a dependency for a printer driver.

The only problem is trying to print to the colour printer, an Oki C810, for which there seem to be hundreds of linux drivers but none of them seem to work. Actually i have only tried about a dozen drivers but it's tricky to test them especially if my boss is around. Which version are you using for Ubuntu-based OS? I have some Canon printers no longer work properly when Ubuntu 14.04 came out. Needed dependencies not longer we supported by 14.04, but was supported by 13.10.

Steps couldn't be simpler. In fact parallel install is done almost the same as with the Windows .msi packages Put which ever of the installs into /Applications just like any package install. Drag and drop there once the .dmg is downloaded and mounted. Launch by double clicking the folder in /Applications. For the additional installs, they could go into /Applications as well just with different names. But they can go anywhere. For example onto user's Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc... just mount the downloaded .dmg package and drag the LibreOffice or LibreOfficeDev .app directory object to where you want it to reside. It does not need to go into /Applications. Then use Spotlight to find the bootstraprc file and edit it in TextEdit. Just as with Windows or Linux builds, edit the UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4 to be UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../Data/settings The $ORIGIN variable is parsed internally by LibreOffice and then creates the entire user profile within the app package, in the example Data/settings but the directory names for the user profile can actually be anything you like. They are fully structured profiles and are portable. When ready to launch the build, open the .app folder with Finder and locate the soffice executable and Control Open it. You can create an app launcher for it if you don't want to dig down into the folder every time. Easy as pie...

The application, created by Collabora, is available from the following link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.collabora.libreoffice The first release of LibreOffice Viewer handles text documents and basic presentations. Support for spreadsheets have been included in an early form, while support for more complex presentations is planned for a future release. Users are invited to download and test the application, although care is advised for production environments. Support for Android is the result of cooperation between organizations as well as individual contributors, said Michael Meeks, VP of Productivity at Collabora, LibreOffice's open ecosystem has again proved its ability to bring diverse groups together to produce great software without restrictions”. The mobile app fulfils the wishes of many users who access ODF files on the go, and is also able to read proprietary document formats from other suites including Microsoft Office. “This release is the first of a new series of mobile applications” said Björn Michaelsen, a Director of The Document Foundation. “Individuals, companies and organizations are encouraged to participate in the open development process by joining the LibreOffice community. The LibreOffice Viewer (Beta) has been created by Collabora with the support of SMOOSE. It is built on foundational work by the LibreOffice community, SUSE, and the Mozilla Corporation, with additional development by Jacobo Pérez of Igalia, and Andrzej Hunt and Ian Billet as part of Google Summer of Code.

Then you could just open it when you need it instead of having to boot to a particular Ubuntu. Reagrds, Jim Be nice to have 13.10 for my photo printing on my default photo printer and 14.04LTS or newer for the rest of the work. As someone told me - off list - CUPS should be installed with the distro, but in my experience not all of the versions I have installed do so until you need it for a dependency for a printer driver.

So i might have a try at a LiveUsb or multi-boot with an earlier version alongside the existing set-ups or something. Thanks Tim ! :) Errr, i think the drivers and apps and such are still called CUPS but i think the forums and websites retired didn't they? Is there somewhere such as LinuxPrinting.Org? I might have to have more of a look tomorrow or sometime.

I gather that CUPS is no longer used but i'm not sure and i don't know what has replaced it. I do not know what is the replacement to CUPS, since every drive I use for Ubuntu and Mint needs CUPS. SO, I install in manually via the standard package manager for the distro. My default printer is the CUPS PDF system. That way I have not accidental printing to any specialized printer that I have on my network, which saves paper and ink. At last my work-place has a couple of machines entirely using just Kubuntu/Ubuntu and no Windows at all. With Kubuntu LibreOffice couldn't open files on the file-server but i fudged it by installing the whole Ubuntu DE (Unity DE and tweaks) and now people have no problems using Kubuntu. Printing to the photocopier or the BW laser printer is fine. The only problem is trying to print to the colour printer, an Oki C810, for which there seem to be hundreds of linux drivers but none of them seem to work. Actually i have only tried about a dozen drivers but it's tricky to test them especially if my boss is around. Which version are you using for Ubuntu-based OS? I have some Canon printers no longer work properly when Ubuntu 14.04 came out. Needed dependencies not longer we supported by 14.04, but was supported by 13.10. Also although the Kubuntu machines have no trouble printing to the BW photocopier but Ubuntu ones can't cope. I have no idea how to find the drivers on the Kubuntu machines and copy them onto the Ubuntu ones.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing from Linux, Kubuntu/Ubuntu
Yes, I agree with you, BUT. . . When I upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu via the Update Manager system, I get a message about CUPS being depreciated and no longer used. So it is Removed from the upgraded system. That is when I have to reinstall it, along with my CUPS-PDF package. Of course that package gives the depreciated message as well, but I know of no other PDF file printer for Ubuntu either. On 01/22/2015 09:20 AM, CVAlkan wrote: Tom: CUPS still seems to be alive and well; in fact, I'm not sure how we could get along without it. It is listed in the Ubuntu repository, although has always been installed by default on any installation I've done (admittedly, not a whole lot though). If you use the Software Center, make sure to check any other additions you might require (I have everything but OpenPrinting installed). If you need to install it separately, you can download it from http://www.cups.org/software.php. I hope this helps ...
