             Bug #: 49287
           Summary: Cannot configure printers on LO 3.5.2.2
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.2 Release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Libreoffice
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: melsonr at earthlink.net


After installing LO 3.5.2.2 from the FreeBSD ports tree, I find (1) that LO
does not detect or provide a default printer and (2) that attempting to
add/configure printers via spadmin results in an error report saying that
printers cannot be added because the filesystem is read-only.  Note that there
is NO indication of what filesystem is involved.  This behavior is a complete
departure from previous versions of LO, in which I could configure printers
with absurd ease.  If this is the result of a change to REQUIRING cups, then I
suggest this is a major error on the part of the project and needs to be
rectified - cups if fine in its place, but it's not necessary or desirable in
many circumstances.  Short story:  I want LO to perform as it did previously
and for it to use the lpd/lpr system already installed and in use by all other
applications on my system.
