OpenOffice 2 print through kprinter?
Hi, How can make OpenOffice 2.0-pre send a print job through kprinter instead of its own, very limited, printing tool? Carlos FL --

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? Carlos FL --

Did you try OOo-padmin? It might be what you are looking for. Regards. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

Carlos FL Maybe :-) OO.2 is not installed in the usual /opt folder. You will find spadmin in /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/spadmin fx

Thanks, both OOo-padmin and the above spadmin (which is not in my $PATH) are the same and work well, but in the fax type of printer there is always a request for a phone number, even if I tell it to remove the fax number from output, which is annoying. I also think there should be an entry in the Options menu or in SuSE/KDE menu (perhaps under Utilities/Printing) pointing to OOo-padmin. Carlos FL --

When I configured mine, I selected PDF converter and changed the properties to run kprinter.

I don't know how you did install this. in fact, there no ooo 2.0 yet. last one is 1.9.118 the official archive (see your best mirror) is made of very ugly rpm's. very ugly for there is no master rpm, one must choose randomly :-) sorry, I installed this only on my Mandrake station, not on suse one, but sould be equal. untar the rpm's, select this directory in source config with yast and the rpm should show in yast, searching 1.9.118. select all and any of them _except_ select only on menu rpm (I presume SuSE one).? With this you get menu entries. install. Installati IS made in /opt. spadmin is in the subdir program. If one run it as user, it runs only soffice. but if you switche to root (su) ./spadmin gives you the printer config jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr

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

Apparently you didn't install the version from the install media (9.3). Where did you get your copy of OO? The file you mention is not under /usr/bin nor anywhere on my system. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

I got this one from the Openoffice.org site. http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html I just found that the 1.9.79 version crashed a little too often, and heard in another newsgroup that this version was much more stable. So far no problems. -- Don

Use spadmin (in the same directory as soffice). Choose new printer - for some mysterious reason you can only select fax or pdf - choose fax, and in the selct command replace whatever is given by /opt/kde3/bin/kprinter. Rename it kprinter, and next time you print from OO, choose kprinter as a printer . fx
