I'm using RH8 and have 2 dot-matrix printers, an Epson LX-850 and a Panasonix KX-P1121. The printers are configured under printtool. As the Panasonic doen't have its own drivers, I used a compatible Epson LQ-850 (recommended by Panasonic). Running a Postscript test page from printtool confims that the printers work well.

When I run /usr/lib/openoffice/spadmin to configure the printers and run a test print, I get a loads of script stuff printed out like

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Creator: OpenOffice.org 1.0.1
%%For: johann
%%CreationDate:...

I was also told to try running "foomatic-configure -n [printer name]" but to no avail.

Why doesn't openOffice use the setting under printtool?
