Hmmm. Amazing how things come up together. While pondering on "book
format" in another thread, I've been "supervising" a booklet my wife has
been putting together. End game was we needed to print about 20 pages,
double-sided, ready for binding.
Goodness knows what happened. The right-side pages printed OK. Left side
kept hanging - the best the system could do was a timeout message from
the printer (a Samsung laser).
There was no way I could get OOo to print the second sides straight to
the printer. I eventually used PDFCreator (a print-to-disk driver), then
printed them using Acrobat Reader, so we've finished this job.
But I still have no clue what was going on. This was OOo 3.x under
XP/SP2. The print queue showed "spooling", then "spooling/deleted" when
I tried cancelling the job. A reboot finally cleared the q (but the
problem reappeared when I retried); while OOo itself crashed horribly at
some point in the proceedings.
OOo? XP? XP fault badly handled by OOo? Who knows? :-{ But it's
irritating when you're doing a "quick job" for someone else!!!
