Sounds like a problem in what it thinks your default printer is. The toolbar button sends the doc directly to the default printer, or to the last printer you used (at least, I think that's how it works, I could be wrong). For some reason, possibly related to deleting and reinstalling the printer, the first time you try to print, it tries to send to some non-existent printer. After you print to the real printer, the button knows where to send the docs, but just for that session. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to set OO.o's default printer. See if there's something in options or printer settings (though I couldn't find anything in 00.o 1; I'm not on 2 yet). Or you could uninstall and reinstall 00.o. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
