Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing

I have a HP PSC1410 that I use for Windows and Ubuntu/Linux.  I have not 
had any issues with printing.

When I did have issues [with OpenOffice.org 3.1], I deleted the folder 
that contained the personalized information, like last chosen printer 
options, and other options modified to my preferences.  That brought me 
back to a "clean install" like dialog box when I opened LO after the 
installation.  This reset all the preferences and fixed the printer 
errors.  Maybe you have some corrupted items in the printer preferences.

I do not remember the where the actual folder is located.  I rarely use 
Windows now.  My only Windows system is not running at this time.  So 
someone else on this list needs to look up where that preferences folder 
is.  Also for XP, Vista, and Win7, the folder may be located in 
different places.  XP and Vista's folders are in different places.

My only issue for printing is my Epson Artisan printer.  The duplex 
options does not work.  I still have not figured out what is needed to 
correct that, but I tend to print my documents to PDF files, and duplex 
printing with the PDF file viewer works well.
