[KLUG Members] StarOffice 8 and Linux File Permissions

[Nikolas Reist]

Sounds like a user permission error or the application is not using the correct printer.  Also make sure your printer name in cups configuration does NOT have any spaces.  You may even try to do this as root:

/etc/init.d/cupsd restart

Just to make sure that the print queue is running.   Make sure there aren't any documents backed up in the print spooler:

ls /var/spool/cups/ (must also be done as root)

If there are several items then you can either delete them:

rm -rf /var/spool/cups/*

Or you can reboot.

Subject: [KLUG Members] StarOffice 8 and Linux File Permissions

Hello Again,
    No, I haven't fixed the annoying problems that I've been having with my
installation. But I have a new one! I use StarOffice 8 for creating
documents, in this case an invoice. I had created it, saved it, printed
it and then closed it. Later I reopened it to insert a watermark using
'format' 'page' 'background' and then print it again. It won't print????
I opened a second copy of the same document; from a different directory
and unchanged from the original; and that wouldn't print either. I open
them in root and I can print w/o problems. So it's a permission thing?
Checking the permissions using Konquerer tells me that the user has read
write permission, just like another document that prints fine from user.
I'm missing something here and it's so close to me I can't tell.

Peter
