I have some very old (Wordstar 3) documents which I'd like to print to a |
2 |
plain text file with simple newlines, page headers and footers, etc, so |
3 |
I need a generic printer with a "print to file" option. There's no such |
4 |
printer available on OpenOffice, so I tried to add one. |
5 |
|
6 |
The OpenOffice help tells me to change to the directory containing |
7 |
spadmin and run ./spadmin, which opens up, shows me the installed |
8 |
printers, and offers a "New Printer" button. When I press the "New |
9 |
Printer" button I get a small dialog titled "Add Printer" with a banner |
10 |
asking me to "Chose a device type". There are 4 radio button below |
11 |
this, and "Add a printer" is disabled. |
12 |
|
13 |
"Connect a fax device" is pre-checked, "Connect a PDF converter" is |
14 |
available, and "Import printers from StarOffice" is disabled. |
15 |
|
16 |
I obviously want to be able to click on the 1st disabled option, "Add a |
17 |
printer". Why is this option disabled and how to I enable it so I can |
18 |
access it? |

|

The same thing happens whether I run spadmin as my normal non-priv user |
21 |
or as root. |
