Hi, I'm looking around in vain for info on why some apps (Open Office apps for instance) see printers while other apps (Evolution and Firefox for instance) do not. Apps that don't work seem to offer print to file and print to LPR. On the other hand Open Office provides only the obscenely ugly CUPS printer name "HP_LaserJet_M1522nf_MFP_192.168.1.5". The printer does work from Open Office and printing test pages.
Are default names like that a problem for Gnome which is the environment my dad is using? The machine is remote so I'm having to ssh in and run apps remotely. On my machine running Gnome I didn't find any global configuration for printing in the system menus. I typically run XFCE so I'm not deeply familiar with what Gnome offers in terms of printer setup. Thanks in advance, Mark
