Title: [Upstream] [hardy] CUPS printer properties are not propagated to OpenOffice Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org-common I have a network printer (Color- LaserJet-3700-Postscript-(recommended)). It's capable of duplex printing and duplex printing was working fine with the lpr command. However, OO was printing on a single page.and the Duplex option in printer properties had only "Off" and "<ignore>" options (both of them printing on a single page). I was able to force duplex printing by going to Device settings and sellecting "Installed" for the "Duplex Unit", but that only worked for the current document and the settings were not saved for the subsequent invocations (which is a bug, I think). I also tried to set duplex with spadmin (from my user accout and as root), but that had no effect whatsoever. In the end I found the solution. Started gnome-print-manager and found "Duplex unit" in the advanced settings. I turned that on, but the changes were not propagated to OpenOffice (a bug). Then I deleted psprint.conf file and everything was working as I wanted it to. OO recreated that file on the next startup, but the file is now empty (which is fine). I tried adding new printer with gnome-cups-manager and that printer appeared in OO without problems. I don't know why option settings change wasn't propagated. Maybe because CUPS keeps printer options in /etc/cups/lpoptions, while the printers are in /etc/cups/printers.conf, so something was checking timestamp on the later file, but not the former. Also, I upgraded to Ubuntu (Dapper) from Debian stable which did not have CUPS installed and had OO 1.x (forgot the exact version, but it was not 2.x). It could be that the Ubuntu package scripts were confused with something.
