Hi Developers,

we have some trouble with the "Printer Language type" -> PDF and our printers
using CUPS on server.

Regarding this, we decided to use the good old Postscript. This works fine, if
we manually set the Printer Language type "Postscript (Level from driver)". But
setting this every printjob is not effective.

Setting the Option "Postscript (Level from driver)" with
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/spadmin (LO 3.5.4) or libreoffice3.6-printeradmin
(LO 3.6.0.4) sets following options in
/home/user/.config/libreoffice/3/user/psprint/psprint.conf 

[__Global_Printer_Defaults__]
DisableCUPS=false

[lp16]
Printer=CUPS:lp16/lp16
DefaultPrinter=1
Location=LIS - Service & Support
Comment=HP 4250-NT
Command=
QuickCommand=
Features=
Copies=1
Orientation=Portrait
PSLevel=0
PDFDriver=0
ColorDevice=0
ColorDepth=24
MarginAdjust=0,0,0,0
PerformFontSubstitution=false
SubstFont_Helmet=Helvetica
SubstFont_Thorndale=Times
SubstFont_Timmons=Times
SubstFont_Arial=Helvetica
SubstFont_Times New Roman=Times
SubstFont_Albany=Helvetica
SubstFont_Courier New=Courier
SubstFont_Cumberland=Courier 

But if we want to print a document and check the printer properties, the
Printer Language type is set to PDF and not "Postscript (Level from driver)"

When we change the "PSLevel=0" to 
* PSLevel=1
* PSLevel=2
* PSLevel=3

the right Postscript Level X is set.

Setting the "Postscript (Level from driver)" is important for us, because some
printers works with Postscript Level 2, and other printers only works fine with
Postscript Level 1

Furthermore we have more than 40 printers and setting the option for each
printer is much work. Edit the psprint.conf to

[__Global_Printer_Defaults__]
DisableCUPS=false
PSLevel=2
PDFDriver=0

works for all printers, but this is only for Postscript Level 2

Any ideas?
