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.
