With CUPS, in KDE applications (kmail, konqueror) when users type CTRL + P, they get a little print dialog box (similar to what is displayed in MS Windows) that lists the various printers available. They can filter the printers list to only show the printers that they want to print to. In OpenOffice, the print dialog is different, but the list of printers available is still there. > While already off topic, anybody had any trouble getting openoffice to > print documents that were opened off the web or out of email? Nope. I just tried it with an Excell Spreadsheet and it prints fine... I have experienced, that when users have this kind of problem printing (no errors, but no output either), it's often because their document or printer output is set to A4 sheet size. My printers only have letter sized trays and so the print job just dumps whithout errors.
