Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer randomly fails to print

Some more experimentation led me to believe it's not random,
it's time related .... I am now minded to believe it's bug 50784
which is posted against version 3.5.2

I will investigate more tomorrow and if it is as I fear, and the bug 
continues into 3.5.4 and 3.6.1.  I will add a note to that bug report 

Many thanks to everyone 

M

  Hi. If your at the stage of adding/removing LO. What if you try the 
  opensuse install.
  I just recently updated my 12.1s to 12.2 for a more recent LO from suse. 
  The upgrade option from the DVD worked well (with some bewares).
