We have the correct PPD's installed. But the properties button does not do
anything like you suggest.

Nope these are all options in the ppd files but once again the properties
button does nothing hence the move to kprinter which does allow us access
to all the functions.

Well as we are running OO 1.1.1 supplied by FC2 this might be the issue.
Do we know when these updates will be available?  Is there a testing
version I could get my hands on to start testing with?

Thanks for you help Dan. Appreciate it.
