General :: Missing Paper Size When Printing From Openoffice?
Aug 31, 2010
I'm trying to print a spreadsheet from Openoffice 3.0.1 (Xubuntu 9.04), I'd like to use the A3 pagesize but the Print dialog shows only A4 and Letter.. Other applications work fine.
I am helping someone print wedding invitations from out Ubuntu machine, and I am wondering, how do I choose the perfect size paper, which is 5.25 inches by 8.25 inches, in the printing properties menu?
It seems every application uses the US Letter as the default paper size in RHEL5. Is there a way A4 can be set as the default paper size in every application?
I have a CUPS server with several end users. The problem is that the printer stops printing if someone trys to print in letter size. (You have to insert letter paper or abort the print job on the printer.)
No, I'm looking for a way to force printing jobs to A4 paper size.
how to do this? Maybe with custom cups filters, but I don't know how this is done.
I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
Can't believe I can't find this out through searches, but I can't, like to know how to change the default paper size when printing from Gimp usingutenprint. LinuxMint 7 (Gloria) (Ubuntu Jaunty), Gnome 2.26.1, Kernel 2.6.28-11
I am using the Gnome desktop in Lenny 5.03The default Gedit paper size is "US Letter", which is almost right for my HP Laserjet 4L, except that about .5 inch at the top and .25 inch at the left margin are cut off.I have defined a "Custom Size" under File -> Page Setup -> Manage Custom Sizes... with margin settings that solve the problem, but this "Custom Size" only remains the default Paper Size for printing until Gedit is closed.Using what appears to be the same gnome dialog from epiphany and evolution, the Papersize settings stick, but not from Gedit. I cannot locate any configuration file to edit, and nothing in the gconf editor seems to apply.
I am trying to install a HP deskjet 1000-J110a. I downloaded a driver package thing, and I guess I unpacked it, and I made it, and I thought I installed it. I am totally confused and my brain hurts. The printing troubleshooter is telling me: Missing Printer Driver
Printer 'Deskjet-1000-J110-series' requires the 'foomatic-rip-hplip' program but it is not currently installed. I found something that is the 'foomatic-rip-hplip', but what the heck do I do with it?
When I try to print in Openoffice, whether it be buy the File menu, or the print icon, or the keyboad shortcut control-p, it always freezes and I have to force quit. This is very annoying; what can I do?
When I print from OpenOffice Writer, some characters are replaced by random characters. For example, this morning all capital "I"'s were replaced by "�" (German special character), a "J" was replaced by "t", and so on. But not all characters are replaced, most are correct.
In addition, the top of the documents are cut off, as if there is an overly wide top margin where the printer cannot print.
I exported the document to PDF and printed from Acrobat Reader, and everything was fine. No problems!
I'm running the Lucid release candidate (but the problem has bugged me for a while now), with a Brother HL2030 printer.
In general, OpenOffice is quite buggy. My latest problem has been printing. I have this .dot file. When I print it to a networked printer, the document never prints. However, these work:Print to PDF. Printing to a file, transferring the file to the destination machine, and printing it works. Transfer the document. If I print the document directly on the destination system using LibreOffice, it works fine. Printing a web page. This works fine. Since I have a workaround, it's not so crucial that this be fixed. I'm just venting .
I am using LibreOffice 3.3.2 Final on a 10.10 Ubuntu Laptop.Everything I print from LibreOffice and Openoffice is printed ~2 cm too high. Printing from other programs as Document Viewer and GIMP is just fine. It's not a settings problem, Ive checked everything hundred times. I am printing on HP Deskjet connected to a wireless router with CUPS 1.4.4 Driver.
I have a Konica 2530DL colour laser and have used it with versions from 6.06 onwards.
However now, with 10.10 I find I cannot print at from most apps eg OpenOffice or PDFs. I get errors on video frame showing on the printer but nothing obvious on the PC.
Test print and gedit text prints works fine and so does using a VM with Lucid running on the same host prints fine too from anything.
Can't see any other comments about this problem anywhere but I know the printer is fairly common and has worked well with Linux in the past.
Using it with IP printing on port 9100 and allow the installation to detect and select the driver. Not setup anything clever and I have the same issue with a Lucid upgrade to 10.10 or a clean install. However the VM running Lucid prints fine. Must be something changed on Maverick somewhere.
I was having a problem even loading my distro. It turns out I accidently installed wrong drivers (nvidia while I have an Itel chip set) So everytime NVIDIA tried to load it's module and screen setting, it forced a check (fsck) because it couldn't find anything for NVIDIA. I booted in recovery, Changed configuration. # commented out the NVIDIA section, and changed NVIDIA to intel in the display section. Which seems to have worked because it now loads without me having to go into recovery mode, however my screen is abnormaly large and I can only see the center of the desktop. Leaving me unable to reach the panel and change the settings.

However when I do xrandr I get:

Is there a way for me to edit that and any ideas on why it may be doing that?
I need to print some pdf files. I use Kpdf and, Adobe Reader. Is there a way to check the font size of the file and to set the font size I want for printing?
I have set everything in my printer settings to "US Letter" both via system-config-printer, and in the localization settings for KDE "System Settings". However everytime I attempt to print the printer will say that it's A4 and asks to load paper. I have searched everywhere for this default and I cannot find it in KDE. While in Gnome, all works as expected with printing (even when printing from KDE applications). Does anyone know how to change the default from A4 to US Letter?
I had been running the official build from the OOo Web site. I've deleted that and now want to install the version from the Fedora repos. yum install openoffice.org* yum's response: No package openoffice.org* available. Error: Nothing to do Then I tried to be more explicit:
In Windows and Ubuntu, OpenOffice.org (2.4 and 3), there is an auto replace tab available at Tools > AutoCorrect. That is what automatically fixes spelling mistakes like teh, and lets me set my own codes for replacements I need to use. In Fedora, this tab is missing. Anyone know how I can get it back?
I'm using openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 and I've installed OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 from Index of /repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_11.2 . However, the menu option Tools->Macros->Record Macro is missing (it is present in the official build of OpenOffice.org for windows and the one distributed in archlinux). Is this a bug? I've searched the Novell bugzilla for resolved and open bugs for this, but I've found nothing.
Good day, having a spot of bother with Openoffice, for some unknown reason im finding majority of the menu & button names have been replaced with "O" characters instead. Its doesn't effect all, but for example in the Writer, the only drop down menu at the top being render correctly is "Table". code... All the buttons/sub buttons still work if you can guess where their pointing!
The only way I can seem to solve it is to remove "openoffice.org-gnome" & "openoffice.org-gtk" package.
Ive tried a complete reinstall already. Its usable without the above gnome and gtk extras but obviously not as nice to look at.
Im sure it was working fine the last time I used it?
Well like the title Implies, In my Administration menu in Gnome I don't have a "Printing" option. So I can't search for/install printers right now.I'm running 10.04 Server. I installed the gnome-desktop-environment package to get a GUI up and running for manipulating the filesystem, But not all the menu's I was expecting appeared. Is this because I used the gnome-desktop-environment instead of the ubuntu-desktop-environment package? ecause I have two PC's setup next to each other. One using the ubuntu-desktop-environment, and one using the gnome-desktop-environment package and the two desktops are clearly different.All I want to know is how to add the Printers menu to my PC running the gnome-desktop-environment package. I already looked at gconf-editor and the printing menu isn't hidden or anything, it's just not there. And me being a new user to Linux, I don't know how else to get to those printer abilities without the GUI
In Slackware 13.1, my OpenOffice menu buttons did not appear after installing the Slackbuild from slackbuild.org. I think this is a common issue. After reading around, I putCode:export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kdeinto my /etc/profile. OpenOffice now opens fine and all the menu button icons are present and correct but this only happens if I start OO from the CLI. This is fine for me but other users of this system will use the kicker menu. The problem is that this starts OpenOffice with no toolbar buttons.Code:exportOOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kdeto my menu buttons
I recentlty did a new install and the printer icon no longer shows up in the notification area when printing....I cannot figure out what is missing or did they omit this...
