I would like my printer to work with openoffice.org.

This printer (hp deskjet 3745) use the driver hplip wich is intalled succesfully on my sarge distro. I can have the program spadmin in the chroot (to add new printer in openoffice) but the printer isn't listed in. I can't print in a file (like a PDF): file isn't created. I don't know how to do, exept by changing the format of document and save the file (this works), and then read it by another program (like abiword) to print it. This isn't convenient.

I just setup cupsys and then everything (including openoffice) prints
just fine through that.

There is nothing special about openoffice and printing in my experience.

Hi,

I know... i have no luck ! did you remember when i had this problem with sound and the kernel provided by debian ? Then i feel something...

I've tried several combinaisons of command for oo.o ; no one worked (but i found one wich works with gimp : i can now print image with gimp ! i'm happy !)

Well, using the ppd file for the hp deskjet 3740 (wich is almost the same as 3745) i can now print in a file and get a .ps file , and i can print this file ! oo.org is now usable for me even if i need a third part program to print (the ps viewer...).

Did i mention i have cups installed and working fine with the hplip driver on the pure64 part ? I guess not... sorry for that lack of informations.

I'll look forward to put oo.o and cups works together, but for now let's back to production world !

Regards,
Yannick
