Where do I change macro security level in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1?
I know it's not possible "inside" OpenOffice", but should be possible in some configuration file or registry.

In 3.2 it was possible to add some xml code to *common.xcd". I wrote a rexx script that did (and does) it nicely, though only in 3.2 as it seem to have changed in 4.x?
I need to export multiple Charts as png images (every Friday night) with code I've written.

Never mind, found it in another file :-)
I'll rewrite my script.

Hi All

I was wrong - the problem with no colour output when printing from Writer is an ecups.drv/psprint.drv problem.

Alex Taylor has released an updated psprint.drv which seems to fix this problem - only had very limited testing here but it has worked fine so far. I guess Alex would appreciate as many people as possible testing it  http://www.altsan.org/os2/printing/psprint-test-141203.zip


Regards

Pete

Yes, indeed. Please note that, this being a quick test build, I didn't observe any proper release niceties like updating the README file or even the BLDLEVEL version (it still reports 30.904 but with a build date of 2014 Dec 3).

It works for me. I have not been able to print colour from any program with the ecups driver since a reinstall of cups about a year ago. With psprint.drv I can print in colour again).
Thanks, Alex!

My main basic macro update all tabs, data pilotes and add conditional formatting as expected.
The other Basic macro can't export the charts as png-images (but on other platforms).
What should I do?

Possibly you need libpng (and its dependency zlib) installed.

Wohoo!
yum install libpng  :D
Thank you Dave!

Noticed one small thing on a printout however.
Spreadsheet, page 2,  printout with header show ¤%&/()=#=../¤ (Odd characters), page 1 ok.

Your OpenOffice 4.1.1 is stable and fast.

I've updated PSPRINT again and I'd like to release it generally.  I'd appreciate some testing first.
http://www.altsan.org/os2/printing/psprint-30_905.zip

This is pretty close to the previous build but I've added a new checkbox to job properties which allows forcing greyscale for printers using ColorModel (it won't appear for other types of printer).  This should not really be necessary unless you're printing to file, but Pete reported not getting greyscale output at all with the last build.  Maybe an odd CUPS issue.

I decided to try this. It seems to work in some cases, although something goes wrong if I select Greyscale in AOO4 (I haven't trird to analyze that, yet). More importantly, If I try to start Lotus Approach, Approach crashes. I have a process dump, that shows this:

I am using CUPS 1.4.8, because I still can't get CUPS 2.0.0 to work.

Hi Alex

On testing psprint-30_905 I found RGB Color setting prints in Color, Greyscale setting prints in Color, Pre-convert to greyscale prints Greyscale.

Looks like psprint-30_905 resolves the problem here.

Thanks, Pete.

Doug, did you have PSPRINT installed before (and not get this crash)?  If so, what build? And are you using any printer objects with it that use imported PPD files?

Crashes of this nature often indicate something wrong with an imported PPD driver.

I had psprint-30_904.zip installed, but I don't think I ever opened Lotus Approach when it was installed (only a few days). Before that I had the default (hpecups, I think) from CUPS 1.4.8, and it was fine.

I have no idea if it uses an imported PPD file. I know that I didn't do it, so I suspect not.

I seem to recall having similar problems, with Lotus programs, when playing with printer drivers, years ago, but I don't remember the details.
