Does anyone know if it's possible to print a star office file without starting star office?
Yes, if you already have created the file.
Ah-ha well answered. I should also have said: "And how do you do it?"
Depends what kind of a 'file' it is.... Let's assume it is in postscript format. Do you have a printer that will accept PS? If not, you will have to use ghostscript, enscript or a lot of other commands I'm not really familiar with... Or a print filter that will handle PS in and ?? out.. whatever your printer needs.
For an extra point can you print to file without
starting star office.
This seems a bit ridiculous.... how do you *get* a StarOffice file without running StarOffice?
Sorry I should have said can you print to postscript without starting soffice (and how do you do it?)
Most linux applications print in Postscript... but your question is still vague... how can I 'print to' anything without starting 'something' to do the printing?
Maybe I don't know what you mean by 'print to'.
Confused.......
Sounds fairly simple to me. He's looking for an app that will allow him to convert from the various star office file formats to star office without starting the entire SO desktop. I don't think there is one, unfortunately, but the question was straightforward, IMHO
s/to star office/to postscript doh!
