Hi,

Is it possible (and how) to set openoffice (1.0.2) to print to kprinter, i.e. 
can you give it the print command somewhere? Thanks for any hint.

The reason for asking is that I have a laptop which is connected to different 
printers at different times, and they all work nicely from KDE applications, 
but openoffice only gives me "Generic printer" which seems to be a network 
printer that I'm using in the office, so all jobs are queued and printed next 
time I connect to the departmental network and I can't print at home.

I'm sorry if this is really a stupid question, but I must say that I find the 
printing setup in Linux really quite confusing, although I'm fairly computer 
literate (but no expert). I don't know if I can describe my setup in enough 
details for you to help me:
I set up the network printer using the redhat-config-printer tool, and it 
basically found the network printer automatically, using LPD. At home I have 
a Lexmark Z25 for which I downloaded and installed a driver from Lexmark. 
Other than these two steps, I haven't fiddled with the printer settings.
Actually the Lexmark shows up in the kprinter dialog and works fine, but does 
*not* appear in the redhat-config-printer tool - is this something to worry 
about?

Back to Openoffice: So either I want it to sent the print jobs to kprinter (so 
that I can choose my Lexmark) or set up the Lexmark in a way that it is 
recognized by Openoffice. I actually would prefer printing through the 
kprinter thing because it seems better designed.

Any help appreciated.... Thanks in advance!

Greetings
Stephan
