Bug#373974: openoffice.org-writer: Does not save printer and paper and bin settings.
Rene
Think I have some more useful information.
Still having problems with 2.0.3-6 in both backports and unstable.
Thought I was going crazy ;-)
Some times it worked and some times it didn't.
Finally figured out the pattern.
If I open a one document and only one and go to Format -> Page can never
select a paper tray unless I select a printer first.
What makes it work:
If I open a document and select a printer via File -> Printer Settings
and select any printer. I have tried writer and calc documents and both
did the trick.
Leave this document open.
After this every thing will work properly. Any previously selected
printers and tray selections will be set.
Must do this every time one starts openoffice. Tried oooqs-kde but that
didn't help.
Same trick works in the old 2.0.1 from backports.
Anyhow guess that something is not being initialized properly.
Hope this helps.
