I can't confirm this as I'm not running a config similar to yours, but there is currently a bit of a debate going on on the dev list as to whether to re-introduce the PS stuff because it was removed with the switch to CUPS during former OOo 3.3.x development. The reason for the debate was that it appears that in some corner cases, using CUPS as the printing subsystem causes landscape pages to be mis-oriented on some Linux/Nix systems (there's already a bug report for that, so yours might be a dup if that is what you are trying to do). Check out the dev mailing list in the last 10 days or so, the discussion should be in the archive. Alex I'm not experiencing portrait/landscape problems. Maybe printing works fine via CUPS. But I don't want to make libreoffice talk to a printer, I want to open recend office file formats and create PostScript files from them. Exporting to PDF and using pdf2ps works, but this is just a workaround. And installing CUPS to be able to print to a file is what I consider to be a bug. Hello somebody, *, I cannot print here on my system for some other reason, but have a couple of questions here ... ;) 1. Are you able to print with other application (say: Firefox, GIMP or something like that)? 2. Did you try it with a later version of LO than 3.5.7.2? Does it work there? If not: Would you be so kind to test a newer version, please? 3. I have only shortly used FreeBSD, so I am not sure, if there is a different handling in updating/upgrading, so I may be wrong here ... :( But have you updated your FreeBSD in the meanwhile? Maybe it was a cups problem there, which is fixed by now ... ;) Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas. Dear Bug Submitter, Please read the entire message before proceeding.
