How to print w/StarOffice 5.1 and RedHat 5.2 upgraded to kernel 2.2.x?

Post by Dale Henness » Fri, 04 Jun 1999 04:00:00



I just put StarOffice 5.1 on my machine
and I can't seem to make it print.  There
seems to be a default queue defined and
from what I can see in the help, the default
queue looks ok.  

However, when I try to print a test page
I get nothing on the printer and nothing
in the queue, despite StarOffice telling me
that the print was successful.

Would someone who got printing to work
under this combination of software mind
sharing their configuration with me?

Many thanks! :)

Is it printing to a file? If so, and if you have used printtool to set
up your ptinter, you can probably print it with the command

lpr [name of file]

Look in the Office50 subdirectory of your home directory for the print
file.

Also look for a check box "Print to FIle" in the print dialog box of
StarOffice. Uncheck this if you have a PostScript printer.

Hope this helps.
