Could it be the following:
The printer name is kept in the template.
So if you change your default template to link to printerA, that will 
work for new docs.

This didn't appear to work for documents which I get from somewhere else.

I have even taken out one of the printers from the cups list and it 
still shows up as the default printer in Open Office.

[users] File sharing Issue 13597

2005-06-09 Thread jim patterson
I have gone back through the archives and found this issue of file 
sharing and noted that it has no milestone and only 6 votes.  Does this 
mean it has very low priority and is not a feature that will be added ? 
This is currently preventing adoption in our workplace.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how many votes this would take to 
become a concerned priority or get a milestone?

Any ideas?

   



You haven' t told us your release or distro so the following is pretty
generic.

OOo output to the printer is postscript. Have you set CUPS to handle
this translation? Check your config under the CUPS driver options tab
and ensure that you have Prerender Postscript checked. I will assume
that you know how to configure the rest. Note: You may need to install
ghostscript.
 


(originally)
release/distro is Centos4
This is a HP4100 printer and configured in CUPS as Network JetDirect.. 
Printer Driver is set

PCL 6/PCL XL Printer   the driver is pxlmono

(since your reply)
checked CUPS applied Prerender Postscript
tested in cups and tested in spadmin (both good)
tried OO page (didn't work)
I installed gsview-4.7-1 (Fedora Core 3)
created new printer HP4100PS in CUPS
with generic Postscript  Printer with Postscript drivers
tested in cups and tested in spadmin (CUPS good, spadmin test shows 
negative image tone is black where it should be white)

tested OO page (it works!! no negative image either)

Still concerned about the negative image in the test and whether I need 
to use the Postscript driver.  
I don't need to do it now but I will need to get the color version 
working on an HP4550 any before hand knowledge or comments appreciated.

[users] Problem with pdf printout

2005-03-11 Thread Jim Patterson
I created a document in OpenOffice and then created a pdf which looks 
fine. 

I then tried to printout the pdf via acroread and the page breaks/page 
numbers/footings are all in the wrong place.  Sometimes the footing line 
appears right in the middle of a paragraph or over the top of an image.
When viewed in Acroread it appears fine  it's only when printing that a 
problem show up.

When I print straight from openoffice or from xpdf the document appears 
fine.
