Everyone, I am trying to print some *.doc files from the command line with openoffice 3.1.1 000310m19 (Build:9420) on centos 5.5 using cups as the print server.
I can open the file from the command line with open office and then print it manually from the gui, but when I open the file and print from command line I am not getting anything. The commands that I have used are the following : /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt lpt4 /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init In each of these cases the command line finishes back to the "#" prompt, but nothing prints on lpt4. Has anyone tried to use the command line options for openoffice and have the syntax as to how it works. I tried to create a macro and use it from the command line as well. openoffice.org -invisible /mnt/lp/document.doc "macro:///Standard.Module1.print_lpt4" The above command starts openoffice in the gui; this command automatically prints the document to lpt4 and openoffice remains open until it is closed by the user. openoffice.org -invisible /mnt/lp/document.doc "macro:///Standard.Module1.print_lpt4" -terminate_after_init The above command executes but nothing happens on the printer and the command line prompt is returned. The closest I have come to success is : openoffice.org -minimized -headless document.doc macro:///Standard.Module1.print_lpt4 macro:///Standard.Module1.end_of_print However the above command requires the X11 to work and will not work in a script in the background. I had posted this request for help on the CentosUsers list at first but was advised to bring the request here. Is this problem a known bug? Is there a work around for it? I sure need to be able to accomplish printing *.doc files from a perl script. Thanks much for any assistance you can give me. -- Greg Ennis PoMec Corporation www.PoMec.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
