Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing in 3.5.2.2

Hi :)
I have never had troubles either but if you look back through the list you see questions about how 
to access the different trays that other programs can access but LO can't.  
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
