It probably can, but OOo 1 did not support CUPS. You would have to copy
your PPD to <office>/share/psprint/drivers and then create a printer
that uses that PPD by using the spadmin tool.
OpenOffice 2.0.2 can see these sizes, and is even so kind as to
adjust my document accordingly. However, for some sizes it
confuses width and height, so my papersize is "landscape" instead
of "portrait" orientation. The width/height is described correctly
in the PPD file.
I have some questions:
How does the printing system work (in regards to printer-specific
options) in OpenOffice 1 and OpenOffice 2?
Is it possible to see my printers PPD options in OpenOffice 1?
See above.
Why is OpenOffice 2.0.2 "mucking" up the width/height values for some
sizes?
Because users do so many strange things; like e.g. giving a user paper
format in "Format->Page" and then not adjusting the Landscape/Portrait
property so OOo tries to cope with that; which is probably not so good
for your specific use case. However there also may be some bugs in paper
handling in the layers below the applications.
Kind regards, pl
