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..
Cheers
Henri
The "text document" is LibreOffice Writer" and the path you need
to use with a text document opened in Writer (it can be a new one):
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Print.
The choices for a fax printer in a drop down list.
