Yes. But my point being is that a similar dialog should/could be available for OOo as well. What you get in OOo now is basically the same as you get in the cups localhost:631 interface. Till Kamppeter, leader of the OpenPrinting work group at the Linux Foundation raised this issue last year: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94184 [Support for the Common Printing Dialog] http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94173 [Let OpenOffice.org send the data in PDF format to the printing system] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
