Anyway, many thanks for your response and I have finally
got OpenOffice to *print* a document!
If this is typical for the latest versions of OO, I'm surprised the code made it past the beta-test stage.
From the responses you would have read here, this is not 'typical' for the latest version of OO to behave - BUT I have to add that only today I updated my 10.3 system (which included the latest OO upgrades) and I *STILL* cannot print a (*.odt) document.
I usually have no problems printing OOo documents, but I find the options offered by the print tool very limited compared with Kprinter. For this reason, this is what I do with every new openSuse install:
To send print jobs through “Kprinter”, run “/usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/spadmin” in the command line, add a “New printer”, “Connect a PDF converter”, using the default driver, and use “kprinter” as the appropriate command and name of the printer. Finally, set this new printer as the default printer.
From then on, I always send print jobs to this "new printer" Kprinter, which then opens kprinter and allows me to resize, print 2 pages in 1, adjust colour, etc. But, this is a "fiddle" and nothing more!
I found the "fix", after doing some searching, dated back last August (2007) about outputting a file to pdf. In openSuse 10.3, OO was updated only (?)a couple of days ago. But the problem still exists! Oh, never mind :-) . Next year maybe better.
