KDE, LibreOffice, and lpd

Yes, have done this, too. Defined two, one for duplex and one for non-duplex. Still, it crashed.

Well, I'm rebuilding it right now, maybe it will work after rebuild. It's 10.0-RELEASE here, maybe this makes some difference as well, don't know. If it doesn't work now, I'll post it in a separate post as a bug...
 
If you have CUPS installed, it would not hurt to give the full path to the real lpr(1) in case the CUPS version somehow got ahead of it in the path.
 
The problem was caused by another thing I initially overlooked: Tools -> Options -> General -> Print dialogs:
check the box next to the "Use LibreOffice dialogs" option there.

It was unchecked in my config, and since no "system print dialogs" exist on my FVWM2-based (reasonably) minimalist desktop system, this must have caused the crash.
Now clicking on File -> Print opens up the good old Print dialog with all options available, including even a choice of printing languages and, yes, even duplex printing. Unfortunately, can't test all these things right now for my paper has just run out :(.

Anyway, it is so nice they've finally solved this bug!
 
I don't see that option:

I started poking through Printer Administration. What Printer Language Type, under the Device tab, do you use? Mine is currently set at Automatic:PDF. The options I have are:

Code: 
Automatic:PDF
PostScript (Level from driver)
PostScript Level 1
PostScript Level 2
PostScript Level 3
PDF

My thinking is it would be best to set at PostScript Level 3. Thoughts?
 
There are still lots of printers around that only do PostScript level 2. Postscript (Level from driver) will use the right level for the printer.

Yes, and duplex printing works just fine here :).
Unfortunately, though, I don't find "too many" NEW printers supporting PostScript, any level. But my old one is still functional.
