Lubuntu 12.04 with Crossover Linux and MS Office not printing

Asked by garvin timmann

I own a copy of Crossover Linux but my support has expired.

I have installed Crossover Linux by the Debain for Ubuntu and Debian (.deb), this does not work for Lubuntu however, which cannot print.

I can print everything in Lubuntu 12.04, but still not .doc MS Word files. The File Manager (PCManFM 0.9.10) does not open the file directly and shows as "OLE2 compound document storage". This works installing nautilus, and i am looking into how to open the file in LXDE's PCManFM 0.9.10 file browser.

by opening Microsoft Office from the Start > Windows Application > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Word

I can then open the .doc file but it does not print. My printers are setup and working and are listed under the available printers, but just does not print. It does not even appear in the Document Print Status, under pending or completed.

Even when opening the .doc file in nautilus and running in crossover -> Microsoft Word it does not print.

All other apps such as Evince pdf viwer and Firefox can print directly. Also Abiword sometimes prints to the printer.
