For me it looks like the following: OOo is reading out information about page sizes and margins from the printer's PPD file. It polls the PPD file through the CUPS API (I hope so) and parses it. Now some PPD files (especially manufacturer-supplied ones, unfortunately) are not 100% Adobe-compliant (check with cupstestppd) and it seems that OOo does not handle this problem gracefully. Bug is in OOo, OOo must be more tolerant on not so perfect PPDs or at least not crash in such a case (and Brother should make better PPDs).
mikko sorri, which driver/PPD did you use for your Brother DCP-7010? Was it supplied by Brother or by the Ubuntu distribution? Or did you get it from the OpenPrinting web site? Try also the HL-1040, it gives you more options than HL-1250 and is perhaps faster. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- feisty openoffice crash https://launchpad.net/bugs/83950 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
