Hi :) Is contacting Cups likely to be a good idea? http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php Ricoh works fine at my place but we only use 2 trays and i haven't tried out anything other than the most basic options. Regards from Tom :)

I entered it as a bug 48514 It's a bit of a pain as all our big printers are Ricoh. Every other application get's right :-( There has to be some way to tell LO - It must be getting it's information from the system somehow. LO can't possible have a database of every printer out there. Why does it get it wrong ? ! grrr best wishes Mal On 12/04/12 18:00, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > Did the list manage to solve this problem? Has a bug-report been filed?
