Not off-hand, I'd have to trawl through the LO user mailing list - the problems might have been linked to a particular OS or particular Type1 fonts, I don't remember exactly now. > >> This could previously be set up in a PPD and included via spadmin, >> including on Mac OSX. > > I'm a little baffled, spadmin on MacOSX ?, what version included spadmin > on MacOSX ? We certainly don't do it now. Yes, I wasn't talking about LO, but during OOo times, before the switch to CUPS printing, this was possible. > > If there are cases where fiddling with the ppd manually and adding that > via spadmin worked, would not the same solution work by using the system > tools to set the replacement ppd for the printer ? e.g. using > system-config-printer under Fedora and "provide PPD file" > Unfortunately, I have no idea. My comments were made not to discourage you from going ahead with your plan, just to relate what I had seen on the LO mailing list and my own previous experience of before/after the switch to CUPS printing, both on Linux and OSX.
