How do I print from OpenOffice?
You need to add the printer to OpenOffice separately. You can do this by running the spadmin or oopadmin program. The oopadmin is found in newer versions of OpenOffice. There are two ways to setup OpenOffice. First Method: Many newer distributions have the printer setup as a separate menu choice. For example, in RedHat 9, the printer setup utility is on the OO menu — click on the red hat in the lower left, click on OpenOffice, and there printer setup is right along side writer, calc, impress, and the rest. Second Method: Just start OpenOffice. Make a new printer, and when presented with the Choose a Driver screen, click on import and browse to the location of your printer’s PPD. Use the default print commands, name the printer, set it as default, and you are ready to go! Start OpenOffice.org1.0 and go to the print screen, and select your printer. Print a test page, and you are done.
