Okay. If the printers can be configured at system level (as on Windows)
and OOo recognizes them, what is the problem? Oh, maybe it is the popup
form that needs fixing.
In any case, I suggest that entering an Request for Enhancement (RFE)
into Issue Tracker is the best way to have requests such as this
evaluated.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
My Pages tab and selecting the Register link
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
