Openoffice printer problem
Until the most recent dist-upgrade Openoffice had no trouble printing
with the local printer, an HP 940C installed with Cups. The printer
installation is correct. Lynx localhost:631 shows in as the default
printer, available and accepting jobs. The test page prints perfectly
and a simple text file can be printed from the console with the lp
command. When the attempt is made to print a document from Openoffice
it appears to work but nothing is printed, nothing appears in the print
que and nothing appears in the jobs completed list.
Openoffice knows that there is a second printer on the LAN and can print
the document to this printer with no difficulty.
Since the local printer is installed and is working correctly I hesitate
to delete and reinstall it. It would seem best to remove the printer
from Openoffice and reinstall it there but I don't see how to do this.
I would appreciate any suggestions,
Tom George
