Hi, Debian 5, CUPS, Brother HL6050D
I solved printing problems by 1) add a cups-filter to the ppd, that manipulates the final postscript file (in my case I added a PJL reset command) 2) use a basic makro (see oo bug 88333) arg(1).name="Collate" arg(1).value=true arg(0).name="CopyCount" arg(0).value=1 oDoc.print (arg()) Have a wonderful day W.
