I'll check this later tonight. Its likely accurate, as I've seen a few other issues with OOo using the values it gets on startup instead of current system values. adjusting component JA->MMP: for "writer" this is OK because it needs the information of the printer driver to format its output device but not for "calc" or "impress". On the other hand writer could then use the device independent output feature instead. Oliver was wrong with his decision to put this issue to 2.0 because changing this might be a bigger change which is not planned for 2.0. Please have a look at this usability issue. Changing target to later... set tm Ben Hanzl September 25, 2004 I was able to successfully replicate the bug on my Windows 2000 machine. Below are the steps followed to reproduce the bug using a networked printer. 1.Start Spreadsheet without any default printer specified through Windows. 2.Print a spreadsheet containing data. Nothing should be printed. 3.Using Window's Printer Manager, set a networked printer as a default printer. 4.Print spreadsheet. A error message should display “No Default Printer†The test machine used Windows 2000 with service pack 3 installed and Open Office 1.1.2 I have seen that the last entry was in September 2004 and that this issue is OOo-1.1beta2 related ... :( Does this problem also occur in newer versions of OOo like the 1.1.x or the 1.9.xx branch? Or could this issue be closed by the original reporter? Could not reproduce in 1.9.77 / Win 2000 SP4. I removed my default printer, so that none was specified. Then started Calc, and put some data in 3 columns. When I went to File > Print, I was told "No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again." haxwell -> njall, bhanzl: Are either of you able to reproduce this using a Snapshot build of OOo? I have not seen any answer from neither njall (the original reporter) nor bhanzel (who is not CC'ed to this issue) ... :( thackert -> haxwell: How should we handle this issue? Mail them personally or should we close it as invalid? I have not seen any answer from neither njall (the original reporter) nor bhanzel (who is not CC'ed to this issue) since February 9th ... :( thackert -> haxwell: How should we handle this issue? Mail them personally or should we close it as invalid? I'm very sorry. I just recently downloaded and installed OOo2 Beta and re-updated my data here. As a result I got an email about this last comment and realized I'd NOT gotten any of the others. One way or the other my fault and I apologize. I will re-test this problem at work tomorrow where I can QED set new preinters as the default and play around. That is where I saw the problem first and I am still running W2K there. You should hear from me by Wednesday th 16th of March. Nelson (aka Njall) I am glad to hear that you just have forgotten it ... :) But I am only online on sundays, so you have to wait for a couple of days for my further comments ... ;) If this problem is solved in the Beta, could you close this issue, please? I will close the issue if I can not repeat it, i.e. it appears to be resolved. Thank you for your understanding and patience. I have double checked and this problem still exists as described originally. I deleted all 4 printers I had defined. I rebooted (just because it's Windows and that's what Bill wants me to do.) I openned a Calc (spreadsheet) document and attemtped to print it. Immediately got correct error that a default printer was not defined. Without exiting OOCalc I set up a printer, made sure it worked and was the "default" printer. I still could not print to the printer until I closed Calc and re-openned it. Then I could print. Oops - regardning my last test... I am running OO 2.0 Beta (1.9.79) on a Windows 2000 Pro system fully patched. @njall: Have you tried a newer version of OOo-1.9.79? If I remember correctly, there were some problems with this version of OOo. Maybe your problem is fixed in a newer version of OOo ... ;) @njall: Could you be so kind to answer my question, please? I think, if not, I will close this issue next Sunday ... ;) JA:->All: Don't close issues which already have a target milestone set. @ja: Sorry, I missed the TM ... :( So I let it open ... ;) JA: Don't set target on unconfirmed issues! Since it got a target (that has been defended), I assume this issue is valid -> set to new. setting appropriate component setting subcomponent I am no longer officially active on OOo. Please take over. . |
New W2K install updated to SP3. Had not assigned a default printer to the system. Started a spreadsheet. Tried to print it. Nothing happened. Realized that I needed to setup a printer. So I went to START/SETTING/PRINTERS and set up a networked printer. Then tried to print again and was rewarded with the complaint "No Default Printer". Double checked and printer was set as windows default printer. Exited and restarted spreadsheet and default printer was recognized.
