Hi,

I just installed the foomatic-filters-3.0.1, and OpenOffice 1.1.1 on Linux.

OpenOffice 1.1.1 has the same bug as OpenOffice 1.1.0 and there is already a
workaround in foomatic-rip.

----- From the changelog...
2003-03-07  Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter at gmx.net>

        * foomatic-rip.in: Workaround for bug in OpenOffice.org.
          OpenOffice.org puts "%%BeginSetup...%%EndSetup" section with
          option settings valid for the whole document after the first
          "%%Page:..." line. So without the workaround all settings made
          with the "Properties" button in the "File"|"Print" dialog
          applied only to the first page, the other pages were printed
          with the printer's default settings. Fixed also some typos.
----- 


The workaround is enabled within foomatic-rip when the creator =
"OpenOffice.org\s+1.1.0"  (line 2412 foomatic-rip)

However, OpenOffice 1.1.1 sets the creator to "%%Creator: OpenOffice.org
1.1.1",
which does not match, hence the workaround is not enabled and the bug is
evident.

I suggest that the foomatic-rip script be changed to enable the workaround for
both version 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 of OpenOffice.

Thanks,

Nigel.
