If you have problems with printing under OpenOffice (RH8) thismight help...

[Peter Davie <peter davie jadesoft com>]

RH8.0 by default, does not install the CUPS printing system. This will cause the default install of OpenOffice not to print because the command for the default printer is defined as (Under OpenOffice Printer Setup on the Office menu):

/usr/bin/perl -p -e "s=/euro /unused=/Euro /unused=" | /usr/bin/lpr-cups

So when you click on the print button nothing works.

There are two solutions:

1. Install CUPS, in which the issue goes away or change the line above to:
2. /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s=/euro /unused=/Euro /unused=" | /usr/bin/lpr

Either of these two approaches will enable printing.
Best wishes,
Peter
