OpenOffice

[Jonathan Hutchins]

Speaking of unsupported software...

I recently added a new Brother laser printer to my network as the default 
printer.  Whether that had anything to do with it or not, suddenly OpenOffice 
can't open any of it's old documents.  It started out by crashing when asked 
to print, cycling through it's "recovering document", but then it started 
crashing as soon as the document was opened.  Strangely, this behavior 
happened on two different machines.

I joined the #openoffice.org channel on Freenode, hoping for some help in 
troubleshooting this problem, and followed it for a couple of days.  Question 
after question was asked, and I saw very few answers.  An actual dialog 
appears in the channel this morning, but it certainly seems to be  a problem 
in search of a solution.
