Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12242
LPRNG lpstat output incorrectly parsed on Solaris
Last modified: 2004-06-07 16:47:39 UTC
On Solaris systems which replace the Solaris version of lpstat with the LPRNG version, OOo is unable to autogenerate a list of available printers. Specifically, even though "lpstat -s" generates a list of print queues, when in OOo, the menu "File->Print->...Printer Name" only lists "Generic Printer". The output of Solaris "lpstat -s" looks like: system for <RemotePrinter>: <SystemName> device for <LocalPrinter>: <DeviceName> But LPRNG's "lpstat -s" returns information in the format: PrinterName@ServerName (forwarding to RealServerName) PrinterName@RealServerName 0 jobs interspersed with some headers that look like: Windows 2000 LPD Server Printer \\IPaddress\ServerName Owner Status Jobname Job-Id Size Pages Priority ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specific software versions are: LPRNG version 3.5.1 Solaris 8 -Jay
TM->US: Seems to be more a prrinter/printing problem than a framework issue to me. Please have a look. Thanks !
More an Enhancement than a Defect.
will add support for that style
according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later.

I installed LPRNG 3.8.27 and the output of lpstat -s now conforms to that of the SystemV version on lpstat; so i don't think we'll have to do anything about this after all.
