Hello,
I believe Thunderbird will use lp, try changing it to lp-cups instead.
I would assme there is a problem with open office you received, you
should download and install the latest release from there web site and
try that.
You can install it as a user in your home directory so it should not
affect the current install.

Hello Michael Gale,
I just use the print icon in Thunderbird when I get oversized printing.
My brother Mel just set up cups to print for me last night. If I print a
plain text document using either the lp command or the enscript command,
it prints out just fine.
I tried for over a month to configure my printer for cups, but it took
only an hour and a half for my brother to configure cups printer. And I
was able to print out text files in the manor above mentioned. I was
also able to successfully print out the first page of an open office
writer document, but when I tried to print pages 2 and 3 open office
froze. I then shut my computer down and restarted and tried to open my
modified open office document. I got the following error message:
An unrecoverable error has occurred.
All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at
program restart.
I then tried to open an open office spread sheet and open office froze
again.
But other than that my printing and my computer work just fine.
Regards,
Michael Walters

Hello,
What type of printing method are you using ? I believe RAW will
cause the problems you are experiencing, you should setup CUPS and use
that to print.

Hello all,
I can safely print straight text documents, but when I print email
messages, they print in large print and some parts of the message get
cut off.
Hower plain text documents still print properly.
If someone could send me a short pdf file I could find out whether pdf
files print properly after I save them.
All help appreciated in advance.
Regards,
Michael walters
