[Bug 911235] Re: Libreoffice doesn't update printer list

 

I had to change the bug description cause you made a complete other bug
out of it. I hope everybody understands what I mean.

** Description changed:

- 1) Ubuntu 11.10
+ 1) I wanted to print a document out of Libreoffice-Writer from my netbook. The printer is connected to my desktop PC (via USB) and is shared via the network. At first my desktop was of, so it is clear that the printer wasn't shown in the printer list of Libreoffice. But then I turned on my desktop and expected that the printer would appear in the printer list. But he didn't appear. This occurs every time the printer is off, and Writer is running.
+ I've tested it with other applications (Evince and Firefox) and there it worked fine.
  
+ I had to restart Libreoffice to make it recognize the printer.
+   
  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installiert: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
    Kandidat: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
    Versionstabelle:
   *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0

- 
- 3) What is expected to happen in a running instance of LibreOffice
- Writer is when a desktop PC USB connected to printer HP OfficeJet Pro
- 8500 has the printer off, then the printer is turned on, Writer
- recognizes the printer quickly.
- 
- 4) What happens instead is Writer does not recognize the printer.
- However, the system does when the printer is turned on and is able to
- print from other applications (Evince and Firefox). This occurs every
- time the printer is off, and Writer is running.
- 
- This does not occur with a netbook, WiFi connected to a router, ethernet
- connected to the same desktop, with the desktop running a cups server.
  
  WORKAROUND: Turn on the printer, restart Writer.
