Hi,

I am looking at officetops filter to get configured on my machine. I have 2 issues here.

1. when I launch spadmin Add Printer ->Choose PPD, which PPD to choose ? they say Acrobat Distiller where do I find it ? Ubuntu doesnt support such package right ?
2. when I do "su lp". I am unable to open soffice. Getting below error:
soffice.bin X11 error: Cant open display:
Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option.

Note: soffice is running only with root privilege.

How do I resolve these issues. Please help me out
