Maybe AOO can communicate with 32 bit driver, but not with 64 bit. Or we have only a problem with same 64 bit drivers. I assume it is a 64-bit driver. It is a recent model HP color laser, running on Windows 8 64-bit. Is there any way to tell whether it is 64-bit or 32-bit? I look at the driver properties dialogs and didn't see anything relevant. -Rob Greetings Raphael - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Hi, On 20.09.2013 00:08, Rory O'Farrell wrote: I cannot remember if I asked this before or not. You did ;-) On the en-Forum we are getting frequent reports of difficulty printing from OpenOffice to installed printers on Windows. I have not a 64 bit Windows to try, so I post this to ask if any computer experienced people on this list have had this problem. It is frequently the case that those posting to the Forum have little or no computer experience, and their reports may be due to this. The common factor is largely (not exclusively) 64 bit windows and an assortment of printer types, using LPT, USB, WiFi and/or Network connections. The installed printers are reported as working with all other applications. If some list members have experienced this problem, I'll gather up the various Forum reports and raise a bug. A similar bug exists, Bug 122346 - AOO doesn't recognize installed printers, for XP amd pre AOO 3.4 I added some requests to the formum thread (http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15t=64191) for the person reporting this, but up to now no infos were added, so I took no further action except printing myself (and some colleagues) to some color printers inhouse, all worked well...

Also thanks in advance! I think this is a different issue. Here the user talk about he can't printing in color. But he is able to print. In the issue we talked about here you are not able to print anything. The printer driver is not recognized at all. So this is not the same bug.
