Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org-base
The set of CUPS printers available on the system seems to be only loaded by OpenOffice during its startup. If, during work with any OpenOffice applications, a new printer is added to CUPS (wither locally, or on a remote CUPS server which is polled by the local workstation), OpenOffice cannot see that new printer until it is restarted - that is, all instances of oocalc, oowriter, ooimpress, oodraw, oobas etc. have to be closed. On the other hand, all KDE applications always display the current set of available printers when bringing up a print dialog and don't require restarting. ** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- OpenOffice requires restart to use newly added CUPS printers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
