The printer list in openoffice-ximian-1.3.7 only shows "Generic Printer". It doesn't list any of the printers configured in cups (and I have 4 of them). Downgrading to openoffice-ximian-1.3.6 fixed the problem and all printers are now available in the Print Dialog. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =openoffice-ximian-1.3.7 2. open up xooffice 3. File->Print... Actual Results: None of the configured printers appears in the dialog. Expected Results: A list of the configured printers appears in the dialog.

Works for me, which version of cups are you using?
* net-print/cups Latest version available: 1.1.23 Latest version installed: 1.1.23 I just merged xoo 1.3.7 yesterday and tried to print today. My printers were available to other apps, such as gedit, so I merged xoo 1.3.6 and they came back, so I fugured there's something wrong w/ xoo 1.3.7.
I have the same problem&same cups version.

@begintmeta: Do you also have more than 1 printer configured? I've the same cups version and it works for me, so this shouldn't be the problem
I'm going to try to re-emerge openoffice-ximian-1.3.7 this weekend. I presently have four printers configured. I'm presently running net-print/cups-1.1.23-r1.
I have 1 PS printer in CUPS and 1 cups-pdf "printer"
I've removed all my cups defined printers: wildstar cups # cat printers.conf # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23 # Written by cupsd on Sat Jan 22 09:54:00 2005 and restarted the cups daemon. I'm attempting to re-emerge openoffice-ximian now.

Created attachment 49202 [details] CUPS printers.conf With 4 Printers Defined I don't know if this is a problem, but when I add/create a printer via CUPS, I let foomatic generate the PPD but then I go into the /etc/cups/ppd directory and rename the generated .ppd file to one that is more descriptive of my printer. I then modify the printers.conf file so each <Printer> entry refers to the specific printer. For example <Printer Home_Phaser_7700DN> is the beginning of the printer definition for one of my printers. I think the defualt was something like <Printer Tektronix-7700DN>. After doing the renaming of PPDs and modifying of the printers.conf, I'll restart the CUPS daemon. Again, I don't know if this would have any effect, but I figured I would mention it since it is a little non-standard.
The emerge of openoffice-ximian-1.3.7 with no printers defined in CUPS completed. The only option in the print dialog from xwriter was "Generic Printer". I'm re-emerging with four printers defined (restored my printers.conf file).
I'm having the same problem -- before I updated to 1.3.7, openoffice-ximian saw my CUPS printers. Afterwards, no joy. Other apps can print to the CUPS printers. I have 3 printers defined. $ genlop -i openoffice-ximian Install date: Sat Jan 22 15:15:04 2005 USE="gnome java kde zlib -curl -hardened -nptl" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fno-stack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing" cups-1.1.23-r1
I've just added a fix for this to the ebuild, so please give the mirrors some time to catch up, then emerge sync and rebuild openoffice-ximian. I also have to point out, that I had to redo my user install to get printing to work again, so if you still have the problem after rebuilding, delete your ~/.xopenoffice and ~/.xversionrc-files, at least for me it works now without problems again. Thanks for reporting and helping out to nail this one down!
