Actually they did indeed make it to OOo-dev 3.4.0 DEV300m106 (Build:9582) as that build has the same issue as LO. That said... I wouldn't shoot the messenger in the case of 94173; Till Kamppeter pretty much rocks IMO & if he's aware of the situation you can pretty much bet that he'll work with you to resolve. I suspect that your issue is the same as John Jason Jordan's issue ("Printer always selects "PDF" instead of Postscript" thread). A possible workaround: Open spadmin (printer administration) & select the printer 'Properties|Device|Printer Language type: PostScript Level 2. Close spadmin & open LO (3.3.x or 3.4.x) and you should be ok for that printer. You can check by closing & reopening LO & 'File|Printer Settings|<printer>|Properties|Device|'. - In LibreOffice 3.3.4 you should see 'from device driver'. - In LibreOffice 3.5.0rc2 you should see 'PostScript Level 2'. Again, it's a possible workaround & certainly not a fix. But give it a try & see if it works for you. -- 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
