Hi everyone

After installing a fresh new ArchLinux or a fresh new OpenSuse 12.1 (beta) -- both 64bit -- LibreOffice complains about having no standard printer. Clicking ok brings me to the printer dialog with all printers installed, but they are not using the right driver (pdf instead of ps - see thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...office-908300/)

How do I get rid of the annoying having-no-standard-printer message and (which is most important) set the printer driver to ps?

I already tried to set a standard printer in cups or with system-config-printer. And I've tried running /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/spadmin which complains about read only files (even with root). After all I created a new standard template with the right printer settings but that's only for new documents, not for already written documents.

I installed LibreOffice in Archlinux with
I installed OpenSuse with a net-install which downloaded LibreOffice for me.

Is it in bug in LibreOffice 3.4.2??? Searching the web brings nothing special (as far as I searched)

Right now I tried OpenOffice 3.3.0 which works fine so far.

I do not use that distribution, but that sounds like a CUPS (or other) print system problem rather than anything directly to do with any application.

What happens if you delete and printer and re-install it? Does it still come up with an odd driver? Can you print form the command-line to a print queue?

Printing from all other programs works fine. I can even print from OpenOffice (but it has no hardware acceleration - which is why I rather would like to use LibreOffice (for all the people who would like to ask: why not stick to OpenOffice...))

(sorry, horrible englisch - I'm no native speaker)

Your English is good enough.

I believe I understand the problem, but I cannot replicate it here. My systems, however, are very different.

Can anyone else replicate the behavior he describes?
