Re: [libreoffice-users] Printer Dialogs

Hallo,

I didnt follow the thread up to now.
Do you use GNULinux CUPS?

no: drop the rest
yes: In that case its probably a problem of the .ppd and could  be solved by 
modifying this filet or getting a better one from turboprint.com or a 
gutenprint driver will do it. Have you switched off CUPS?
in my case I could (troubles with a Brother) I could solve the probelm 
perfectly.
