I admit I did forget to mention the OO.o.  I DID however understand that they all (O.o apps) used 
the same settings.  Being new to Ubuntu, I wasn't sure how it all came together and that was part of 
my asking for the help.

In fact, you said, " All you say is your using the OO writer. If you had an ounce of sense you would 
know that all OO functions use the same printer set up."  I DID mention that "It was my 
understanding that all of OO.o components used the same printer settings.  But it won't stay...."

You said, "Your too dumb to even tell us what the problem is."  Well you're wrong.  I gave precise 
steps that I took when I said, "When I go to "File/Print",  I don't get the HP as the device.  I get
"PDF" as the print."  Again, as I mentioned before, I forgot to mention OO.o.

Also, I'd included another detail that "I have to change it from the PDF to the HP 1200 each time, 
in the Preferences."  You apparently missed that as well as the other points.

Am I dumb?  Possibly....   I prefer uneducated in Ubuntu, which is why I'm here....   to learn, not 
get angry.  I have been taught that the only dumb question is the one that was not asked.  At least 
I asked.  Apparently, you weren't reading carefully since I'd apparently gave all the necessary 
information you said you needed....   except for OO.o....   but that only took a question from you....

In closing, you'd asked, "So now, tell us what you did to set up your printer."

I took the advice of an intelligent and wise man.  Again, thanks David.  <GRIN>
