> Hi

> First of all: thank you very much for doing efforts to make openoffice a
> valuable package for linux.

> I tried to find out how to print... hard to find a documentation in the
> install package itself... anyway I finally ended up on your printing
> page and tried to work around Xprt.

>  ./xprt.sh start -xprtdir=/usr/X11R6/bin
> Xp Extension: could not find config dir /usr/X11R6/bin/XpConfig/C/print
> Xprt started on display 1.


> Finally I could find Xprt on my system but no XpConfig anywhere ... I
> tried to print something from soffice which didn't complain but Xprt
> complained about being unable to lauch

> openoffice60/soffice

> Fatal server error:
> unable to exec '/usr/bin/lp'
> Xp Extension: could not find config dir /usr/X11R6/bin/XpConfig/C/print

> Of course it should look for lpr instead of lp and I have no idea of how
> to configure Xprt.

> Additionnally, I have two printer lp and lp2 on my computer but it shows
> only lp2... while I rather print on lp (default printer) !

> Any clues ?
