It has been almost three years since the release of OpenOffice.org 2.0. Now, the open source office suite is back with a new 3.0 beta release, ushering in a handful of major enhancements, broader file format support, and a solid batch of evolutionary new features.
Ars Technica takes the new beta for a spin to see if their productivity increases.

I just don't get it, why some people think you steal people from this board.
Just for the record, nobody has said that mysti is trying to steal members from this board.

Lenmark X1270, Should I follow Red Hat's process to install? There are several different ways, but which should I follow since I have Lenmark X1270 and am going to try and download the link above...
I don't know - you'll have to try them and see what happens... :)
-
I wanted to be sure, when I clicked "here" on your link... it went to Lexmark Z604 product not Lexmark X1270??
Z600 is the name of the driver, which presumably works with several printers... ;)
Follow the links on the Open Printing page for more information.

The page do not work. I select to search but when I press Search button a blank page appears.
That was a temporary address while the site was reorganised. The new address is www.mandriva.com/en/hardware/. :)

Moderator: I read all the thread titles and still was not sure where to post this (honest!) Please feel freee to move it where you think is best and I promise I won't whine.
Problems with the file system or with data usually belong in Hardware - I've moved it there. :)

Welcome to the board. :)
According to openprinting.org, you need to use Lexmark's own driver which is available here.

In a blog posting this week, Alex Brown, leader of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) group in charge of maintaining the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard, revealed that Microsoft Office 2007 documents do not meet the latest specifications of the ISO OOXML draft standard...

By the way, Spinynorman helpfully moved this thread to "Hardware" but it definitely isn't a hardware problem, as exactly the same hardware works with 2007.1.
You are having problems using a piece of hardware - that doesn't necessarily mean the hardware is at fault; it's just how we organise the forum... :)

There is a 64bit version - on this Japanese mirror, for instance. :)

We have different definitions of "security," as to how it pertains to computing. As you can see, I have made few posts, yet most seem to get moved. I wish you would put a "General Questions" thread at the top...
When you've been here a bit longer, you may become a mod or admin, then you can decide where topics belong. I don't see how creating a dustbin forum (General Questions) would solve anything - you would still have to define what went there, and if it was just doubtful topics, they would still have to be moved to the right forum.
I'll post my question over at linuxquestions.org. There, I'm more likely to get an answer to my question before it gets moved. Great OS!....poor forum.Threatening to go to another forum doesn't have much effect, I'm afraid - and whether a topic is answered before or after it's moved, is neither here nor there.
Slagging off the forum when you've recently arrived, is not the best way to make friends, but as you can see, our members are quite tolerant.
-
I wasn't sure where in the forum to post this question. I apologize if I picked the wrong place.
I think this is more of a security question, so I'll move it there... ;)
