Converting files?
 

Is there any way to convert .odt to .txt?

What is odt format? What application uses it? Is it a Linux or a Windows app?

you could try to unzip the file, and then strip the xml tags out
of content.xml

A bit crude, and you'd lose formatting, but hey ;}

odt = OpenOffice2 writer document

Thing is I need to convert the file to print it on my windows machine so i cna print it, because my printer is on my windows, and i tried installing it on linux, but it didn't have the same kind of printer on the printer setup. So I was going to put it on a floppy or cd and convert it and bring it to my windows machine and print it.

Install OpenOffice on the Windows box? Save it as a DOC from OO in
Linux? Plug the printer into the Linux machine?

I did plug it into the linux machine, but it only could print test pages, not anything else

1. You could download OpenOffice 2.0 to your Windows machine as well and run it there.

2. You could save the .odt in Open Office to a .doc file (Word) and open it in the Windows machine as a Word file and print.

3. Have you tried "printing" to a .prn file, saving the .prn file to floppy or USB stick, and then printing the file from the DOS/command prompt in Windows?

4. What printer are you using, and what distro and kernal do you have? There should be some driver out there for it somewhere.

If it can print test-pages it can print other things, too.

You now that you should run the spadmin tool to make
OO aware of your printer and its set-up? If you had run
spadmin, maybe your document was set to the wrong
paper format?
