Search for 'ReduceTransparency' in the OOo configuration (Common.xcs), and set that to true.
The underlying reason for this (mis)behaviour is that our bitmap implementation keeps the Pixmap around, once one's there. And unfortunately, during printing, at lot of those bitmaps are generated per page. This is generally fixable, though not particularly easy. First, you might try these three configuration settings: ReduceBitmaps ReducedBitmapResolution ReducedBitmapIncludesTransparency (also in Common.xcs, and on the UI via Tools->Options->Print) HTH, -- Thorsten If you're not failing some of the time, you're not trying hard enough. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
