------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 29 19:31:30 -0700 2006 ------- This is a "showstopper" bug! Period! Thats because if you run Citrix or plain Windows Terminalserver at your site, one of the things that you don't want to do is to install printers as "Workstation"-printers. If you do so the printer is visible for all users connected to that server, and you will at best create confusion among your users. At our site, which serves aprox. 8500 teachers and students, we have a unified solution where students and teachers connects to a common terminalserver-farm. We have aprox. 130 printers at 27 locations(schools), and, among other things, we don't want students to see teachers-printers (The printer-list would also be far too long!) The solution is of course to install printers so that each user only see the printers he has the rights to see, in other words install them as "User"-printers. But usually you only install the most used printers for the individual user. At our site, for instance, the teachers has the rights to print to all 130 printers/27 locations, but at login we only install the printers that are exclusivly for teachers at the location/school that they work. If the teacher would like to print to a student-printer, or a teacher-printer at another location, he/she has to install that printer manually (as a "User"-printer). And here comes the problem.... If the user hasn't started Openoffice yet, there are no problem because OpenOffice 2.0 (as 1.0 before it) reads both "Workstation"- and "User"-printers at startup. If, however, the user has already started OO 2.0 and chooses "File - Print", the newly installed printer don't show up in the list of available printers, and the user has to (1)Save his work (2)Quit OO (3)Start OO again (4)Open his document again. This is one of the things that irritates my users the most about OO (only topped by that it ain't MS Office :-D), and it should be very easily fixed. The code/functions that reads both "Workstation"- AND "User"-printers do already exist, because OO reads both types at startup. And now, in OO 2.0, when you choose "File - Print", OO discovers new "Workstation"-printers, but not new "User"-printers. I guess this is an oversight by the developer(s), probably because most developers don't use terminalservers regulary :-) I hope it will be fixed for 2.0.4! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
