Bug Description
In Open Orifice (sorry, had to) when I wish to print a document, it is not possible to define what I would like to be my default printer. In fact, the default is a .pdf file every time I try to use OpenOffice, and I have to reset my printer (which shows up on the menu ok) as the place I want my doc printed.
Please would you add the possibility of defining the default printer from here, and also that once selected the choice is saved unless altered, even when the app is closed.
Many thanks for your hard work, Jules

If you set a default printer by going to System- >Preferences- >Default Printer, the "default" printer inside Open Office remains unchanged, the default printer for Open Office is always the 1st printer on that list. Also if you set up a new printer inside System- >Admin- >Printing the printer does not show up until the system is rebooted.
