Re: [gentoo-user] how to save ps file from OpenOffice writer?

[W.Kenworthy]

configure a dummy colour printer in cups.

Despite what I said, I do admin some windows machines that print via an
adobe driver to a gentoo print server. Different versions of doze, but
the same adobe print driver (all installed from the same installation
file) - and one, and only one refuses to print in colour!  I'll try and
configure a dummy colour printer in that machine and see if it corrects
the problem.  

Thanks for starting me thinking again on this one.
