Hi,
don't know whether its OO fault, kprinter or whether it is just me (:
so I'm asking my question here:
Hi,
I'm trying to get OpenOffice 2 to use kprinter and to show me the kprinter
dialog when printing.
my first try was to add a pdf creator and use the command kprinter --stdin,
but OpenOffice always ignored that i wanted this printer as a default.
second i tried to manually edit the psprint.conf file, also without any luck.
third i added the line
export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1
to my .profile file and OO ignores the cups, and i can add a ordinary printer,
exactly kprinter. there is only one problem: the file is printed out correctly
using the kprinter dialog but after the kprinter dialog disappears i recieve a
message from openoffice stating: "error while printing"
and nothing more. anybody a hint what i can do?
why do i want to do this? all other applications use kprinter for printing,
$AVERAGEUSER is highly disturbed when there no kprinter dialog shows up when
printing from openoffice. especially when in cups something like n-up page
printing or duplex or whatever was saved prior from printing from another
application, OO will pick these defaults regardless whether the user wants
that or not.
Since it is likely that you have screwed up your OO configuration files,
you need to undo what you have done. If you edited:
$HOME/.openoffice.org1.9.<version>/user/psprint/psprint.conf
then you can just remove the directory:
$HOME/.openoffice.org1.9.<version>
open OO, and go through the wizard again.
You also need to undo whatever else you have done.
Then, execute:
/opt/openoffice.org1.9.<version>/program/spadmin
This will change the global setting if you run it as root or the user's
setting if you run it as that user.
A dialog will open. Select "Generic Printer" and click "Properties".
Under the: "Command" tab in the dialog that pops up, enter the command:
"kprinter". Click "OK".
Click: "Rename" and enter the name: "KPrinter" in the dialog that pops
up.; click "Close".
