[libreoffice-users] [3.5.4.2/Writer] CTRL-P shortcut freezes LiBo V 3_5_4_2
Hello, I have just switched from LiBo V 3.4.5 to LiBo V 3.5.4.2 without any apparent problems except for the following : I use mostly WRITER to print and fax. Until the upgrade ,I would ,on completing a document, press the shortcut CTRL-P ,select the required printer and print or fax depending on my selection. As of the change to v 3.5.4.2 when I use the CTRL-P shortcut LiBO freezes up ,no command works ,no printer dialogue shows up and I ,in the end, have to use the ESC key in order to to go back to my document . As a workaround for printing, the PRINT icon in the standard toolbar will print immediately but will not allow me to select a printer therefore I cannot select a different printer.. The workaround for faxing (which I still have to use as some companies will not deal with e-mail) is to export the document as a PDF, and then I can send it as a fax by selecting the fax option through the printer dialogue of my PDF application. I have also noticed that the option : Tools/Options/LibreOffice writer/Print, in the setting OTHER (bottom left of open dialogue window) will always revert to FAX (even though I select the NONE option in that dialogue, (since I use the fax printer driver and have no dedicated fax software) once I close the Options dialogue and restart LiBo, I have also tried placing the Send Default Fax in the STANDARD TOOLBAR hoping that it would work as well as the Print File Directly Icon bur all I get if I try it is the following message: No fax printer has been set under Tools/Options/Text document/ Print This option text Document does not appear to exist in V 3.5.4.2 Tools/Options or if it does it is cunningly disguised and I cannot find it. I can only assume that the CTRL-P shortcut starts looking for a non existent printer and also that the the constant reverting to the fax option in in the OPTIONS dialogue is a bug... but has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution? Here is my system: OS: win XP sp3 with all patches AV: Microsoft security essentials PRINTER: Lexmark 5400 series Epson 1290 FAX: Microsoft fax driver All drivers are up to date. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this as I am completely at a loss..

The choices for a fax printer in a drop down list. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Dan, Thanks for the reply. The problem is not so much that I CANNOT set the option NONE in the drop down list of the PRINT options(although that appears to be a bug) but that the key shortcut CTRL-P freezes and does not go into the print dialogue and therefore I have no drop down option of printers. So I am still unable to print from that shortcut. Hope this is clear enough.
