Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2

Hi,

I've only used Libreoffice in Ubuntu. The printers available have always 
been the ones I have installed with the system, and always have all of 
the options available that any other programs have for the. The defaults 
are always the same as the way they are installed in Ubuntu. Sometimes 
the dialog boxes between different programs will be a little different. 
I've never had to configure a printer for Libreoffice, and that includes 
two inkjets, 2 black and white lasers, and one color laser. Three are 
HP, one is Samsung, and one is Konica-Minolta.
