Hi,
How can make OpenOffice 2.0-pre send a print job through kprinter instead of its own, very limited, printing tool?
Did you try using the OO Printer Administration?
I think I looked now through all the menu items, all the Option items and all the SuSE/KDE menu items and I haven't found the OO Printer Administration (or something equivalent to "spadmin"). Am I blind or what?
On my system, it's in the OpenOffice menu. However, if it's not on yours, it's easy enough to create. In my menu, the command for running it is "/usr/X11R6/bin/OOo-padmin --messages-in-window".
Carlos, Not sure which version you are running. I recently installed OpenOffice 1.9-118, and the printer administration command has moved to /usr/bin/openoffice.org-1.9-printeradmin. Some parts seem a bit buggy though. When started, it only shows a Generic Printer (lpr) as installed. After choosing anything (for example, "Properites" and then cancel immediately) the list gets updated to show all installed CUPS printers. Printing through CUPS works fine though. Hope this helps. -- Don
