Are all the work stations reporting the problem? My thoughts are it is: 1. An bug in LO; possibly specific to openSUSE 2.

LO will regenerate a new default folder if it is missing when starting up. -- Jay Lozier [email protected] -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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 I have just got my machine to stop printing! ha !
