Description Unknown 2002-08-14 16:29:54 UTC 
This applies to OpenOffice.org1.0, soffice.
In certain documents converted from Microsoft Word format,
and then printed, the print job fails (on the 3 printers I've tried)
with the error
  ERROR:configurationerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: setpagedevice

When I investigated, I found that the problem was caused by these lines 
in the PostScript:

%%BeginSetup
%
%%BeginFeature: *PageSize Letter
<</PageSize [612 792] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
%%EndSetup

and the job printed fine if I edited the PostScript by
hand and replaced them with

%%BeginSetup
%%IncludeFeature: *PageSize Letter
%%EndSetup

We saw this error also.  It went away when we changed the default
paper size in printer setup from "A4" to "US letter"

That actually is the right behaviour for a printer; on most printers
you can configure that they adapt Letter to A4.

That being said the PostScript produced will of course contain the
page size of the document, which in this case seems to be Letter.

As mentioned on the qa dev list on March 5th I will close all resolved
<wontfix/duplicate/worksforme/invalid> issues. Please see this posting for
details. First step in IssueZilla is unfortunately to set them to verified.
