- Do not configure OpenOffice.org any more,
only Star Office.
OpenOffice.org is patched to have native
CUPS support now.
Does it still make sure the correct paper size (US Letter) is selected for the proper locales?
printerdrake never set the default paper size of OpenOffice.org itself and it never wrote the paper size for the printers explicitly into a config file of OOo. It only assigned the PPD files to the printers in OOo. And as printerdrake sets up the CUPS print queues with the default paper size in the PPD files set correctly, the printers in OOo had the correct paper size. Now OOo gets the PPD files from the CUPS queues by itself. But as the queues are still made by printerdrake, they have the correct paper size and so OOo overtakes this. So no problem, you will not loose anything in OOo, but now you can even make print queues with the KDE Printing Manager or the CUPS web interface and you will also have full access to the printer capabilities in OOo and exacvtly the default settings as you have set for the CUPS queue.
