[Solved] Printing locks up all applications in 2.3

[Kirk M]

Using the latest version of Open Office (2.3), I can only print successfully using the Print button in the toolbar. Attempting to use "File/Print" or "File/Print settings" immediately locks up whatever application I'm attempting to print from and the only way to shut the OO application at that point is by the Windows Task Manager and killing "soffice.bin" which shows up when I attempt to print or bring up printer settings. Again, using the Print button that resides in the toolbar works okay. It's only when the print function requires a dialog box to be generated that the problem is seen. I didn't encounter this problem with OO 2.2.

Printing works fine from any of my other applications.

Windows XP PRO SP2 (fully updated)

.NET Framework 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 installed.

Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0_02 and 1.6.0_03

Open Office 2.3

Update: Doing a "Repair" using the OO 2.3 installation wizard appears to have corrected the problem. I'll post if it happens again.
