Before I installed FC2, when I printed from OpenOffice, OpenOffice correctly setup a print
job. For example, If I selected Duplex mode = Long Edge, then the document would print
double sided. Or if I printed an envelope, the printer would properly print the address
on the correct axis for an envelope fed from the manual tray.
Since installing FC2, OpenOffice1 1.1, StarOffice and OpenOffice 1.0 all fail to correctly
set printer job properties. It is the same printer with the same drivers. It is like FC2
will not allow the software to control the printer. Only stream data. Because it does
everything except pay attention to user land software.
If I open the printer control dialog and set Duplex=Long Edge, duplexing works.
Why doesn't OpenOffice properly set print job properties.
BTW, in FC1 and RH 9.0, all these apps correctly set print job properties.
I've reported this in the OpenOffice bug tracker, and have not been able to find
anything with a google search.
Thanks in advance for any help.
