Hi,
The driver came from http://www.openprinting.org/ They claim this printer works 100% and only LO has this problem. All the other apps I have get it right and show all the trays and paper options. I had a look at turboprint and they don't seem to support Ricoh printers. :-( M _____ From: Walther Koehler [mailto:[email protected]] To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:44:51 +0100 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Printer Dialogs Hallo, I didnt follow the thread up to now. Do you use GNULinux CUPS? no: drop the rest yes: In that case its probably a problem of the .ppd and could be solved by modifying this filet or getting a better one from turboprint.com or a gutenprint driver will do it. Have you switched off CUPS? in my case I could (troubles with a Brother) I could solve the probelm perfectly. Walther Am Donnerstag, 19.
