Hi again:
I can print from Star Office if I run it as root. If I go back to my regular
login, printing fails silently even though Star Office was installed from my login.
I found the "failed" test printouts -- they are in /tmp and with name /tmp/xprn*.
Out of curiosity, I did a "strace soffice 2 > logfile" command and found something
strange in the trace -- Star office tries to create a xprn file and then unlinks it,
and does this over and over again, each time with a different 'xprn_____' filename.
May mean something.
------
access("/tmp", R_OK|W_OK) = 0
stat("/tmp/xprnpnqIOe", 0xbfffdf8c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/tmp/xprnpnqIOe", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 29
fstat(29, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4230e000
write(29, "x", 1) = 1
close(29) = 0
munmap(0x4230e000, 4096) = 0
rmdir("/tmp/xprnpnqIOe") = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
unlink("/tmp/xprnpnqIOe") = 0
