I am not expert in this area. Does cups return imageable area? Does any other application use it? I though that most applications defined its own "nice" margins only by the given media type... I have assigned the bug to you because you have the best overview about the printing stuff in SUSE Linux. You could know if the libpaper stuff is useful even in SUSE or we have something better instead. If it was useful, you would want to maintain it ;-)
From my point of view, it will be perfectly fine if you say that libpaper is not useful in any way and why => we do not need it. Then we will fix OOo to read the information from the right source (if any), will hide the error message about missing paperconf and could close this bug.
I think that paperconf might be useful when the user does not have any printer (=> CUPS is not configured) and he wants to use a different media type than the one defined by locales. The question is if it make sense to add paperconf if only OOo would be able to use it. We could also fix OOo to remember the setting in Format/Page for all new documents. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
