Perhaps if you post an example document to your web pages and give us the url or create an issue in Issue Tracker with the example doc attached, we will be able to examine the printer settings in the doc; that is if you have not disabled this feature. OOo generally accepts the default printer without problem especially if it is a postscript printer. As to Jim's problem, I think he has a local problem which I have discussed with him but he indicated to me that he would have to live with the problem until he can replace his OOo release. > > > On Tue, 2005-02-15 at 12:18 -0500, G.
