open office printing on suse 10.1
hi all, on 10.1, i am having a wonderful time trying to get a spreadsheet to print out correctly. i have installed on another pc (debian) an hp 3940 deskjet using the .ppd file specifically for this printer. i access the printer with cups. (no problems there) i have no problems printing using any other application, but when trying to print a spreadsheet, it is cutting off the left side of it, maybe an inch and a half or so. i tried shrinking the printout from properties anywhere from 25-50%, this does no good, doesnt even work properly, it still prints the same size no matter what i have the % set at. any idea how to run the ooo printer configuration utility? supposedly called "spadmin" ive been googling for the last hour and cant find anything about ooo 2.0 for suse and printing configuration utility. all ive been finding is that suse doesnt include it in the menu system for ooo, and the program "spadmin" is not in my usr/ bin directory where ooo is, or anywhere else in my filesystem. i am using ooo 2.0.2.7.1 any clues?

On my 10.1 system spadmin is located at /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/spadmin. -- Don

Peace =========== Steve, Check your settings on page size and check to be sure there is not an incorrect "print range" setup. This is within the program, not your

I found part of the page size right and another part wrong, plus the print range was totally out of whack. I've always had pretty good luck with OOo spread, but it sounds like you have something not quite right in the settings of the page. regards, Lee
Check your settings on page size and check to be sure there is not an incorrect "print range" setup. This is within the program, not your printer settings. I noticed this happening while using KSpread one day. I found part of the page size right and another part wrong, plus the print range was totally out of whack. I've always had pretty good luck with OOo spread, but it sounds like you have something not quite right in the settings of the page. This is very important. Check the page size in CUPS (or YaST) for that

Some applications, such as OO.o, need to know the media size separately from the printing subsystem. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
