Description usoo 2010-06-25 20:19:33 UTC 
Making multiple simultaneous command line requests to print from multiple
command consoles on the same machine fails.  The first one will print but the
other concurrent requests will fail if soffice.exe is still executing from the
first request.

For example, if you request, from console 1:
soffice -pt myprinter myfile1.doc
Then *immediately* request from console 2:
soffice -pt myprinter myfile2.jpg

Then myfile1.doc will print but the 2nd soffice request to print myfile2.jpg is
ignored and the 2nd soffice.exe simply closes without sending the request to the
printer.

It appears soffice.exe doesn't like to have more than one iteration of itself
running at a time per machine?  This should be allowed when printing from the
command line.

We would like make multiple OpenOffice command line print requests on a server
simultaneously.

Thanks!

@ hi: Please have a look.

@cd: should these not be serialized ?

The requests might come from many different users at approximately the same time
and simply making the soffice -pt... request as each request comes in simplifies
processing.
Can each soffice -pt... request simply send the print request to the print
spooler to then be printed on a FIFO basis?
Currently the subsequent soffice -pt... requests are initiated but then closes
down without sending the files to the print spooler as long as the first request
is still in memory.
Thanks!

BUG confirmed: issuing multiple simultaneous command line requests to print from multiple command consoles on the same machine fails. while waiting for a fix we'll try a pause between the commands.
