Printer configuration in Start OpenOffice can not be saved

Hello

I work with OpenOffice.org 1.1 on Mac OS 10.3.5 with Apple's X11. I am not able to print from OpenOffice because I cannot setup the printer.

I can change the printer configuration in Start OpenOffice and print a test page, but when I leave the configuration program and start it again, all the new settings are lost again. I suppose I must have missing write permissions somewhere, but I could not find where. Any suggestions?

Thanks, tinu

Check to make sure you have write permissions on:

/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/share/psprint/psprint.conf

That's the file that holds the default printer settings like default page size as well as any custom printers. Also check to see if you have a local copy in ~/Library/Preferences/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/user/psprint. You may be able to copy the .conf file in there and have it override the one in the shared configuration directory, but I can't say I've tried that with firsthand experience.
