Bug ID: 124307
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Printers are enumerated only at start, never re-read,
jobs fail silently
Product: Writer
Version: 4.0.1
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: printing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Problem description:
It seems OpenOffice only reads the list of printers when it starts, and keeps
the connection live all the time. If the CUPS printserver restarts, or if the
laptop with OOo is moved between the networks, OpenOffice cannot print anymore
until relaunched. This is quite serious inconvenience for users with laptops.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open new empty document in OpenOffice Writer
2. Print it
3. Restart CUPS on the printserver (sudo service cups restart)
4. Try printing the document again
Current behavior:
OOo silently fails to print without showing any error message.
Expected behavior:
Ideal: re-read the list of printers when Print dialog is shown, print the
document.
Less ideal: show error message that it couldn't print.
