Re: [libreoffice-users] huge print jobs for MS Publisher Imagesetter printer

I reproduced the descripted situation in two different environments:
1) Windows 7 and LibreOffice 3.6.4.3
2) Linux thin client + freerdp.+
terminal server Windows 2008 Enterprise, Libreoffice 3.6.3.2

To be honest, I don't know if the driver "MS Publisher Imagesetter" is a
part of Microsoft Office, but I suppose, that not. Because this driver is
associated by default with printers redirected to RDP terminal session even
when MSO is not installed (and if Easyprint technology is disabled).
