Some more experimentation led me to believe it's not random, it's time related .... I am now minded to believe it's bug 50784 which is posted against version 3.5.2
I will investigate more tomorrow and if it is as I fear, and the bug continues into 3.5.4 and 3.6.1. I will add a note to that bug report Many thanks to everyone M _____ From: Steve Edmonds [mailto:steve.edmo...@ptglobal.com] To: Malcolm Moore [mailto:st-malcolm.mo...@whsg.info] Cc: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 18:30:06 +0000 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer randomly fails to print On 2012-10-24 03:59, Malcolm Moore wrote: > _____ > > From: Malcolm Moore [mailto:st-malcolm.mo...@whsg.info] > To: users@global.libreoffice.org > Cc: Jay Lozier [mailto:jsloz...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:24:14 +0000 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer randomly fails to print > > From: Jay Lozier [mailto:jsloz...@gmail.com] > To: users@global.libreoffice.org > Sent: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:53:39 +0000 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer randomly fails to print > > On 10/23/2012 09:20 AM, Malcolm Moore wrote: > > As the subject says.

If your at the stage of adding/removing LO. What if you try the opensuse install. I just recently updated my 12.1s to 12.2 for a more recent LO from suse. The upgrade option from the DVD worked well (with some bewares). steve -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
