Hi Jaime, You are sending PostScript data to the printer. Have you tried a different app other than OpenOffice? You can use the -o raw lp option to bypass the driver lpr -Pprintqueuename -o raw file.ps Not much different from just lpr -Pprintqueuename file.ps since for PostScript printers, the data is directly sent to the printer anyway. We have tested this on a few different laser printer models, most seem to work fine. We are investigating this to find the root cause. Raghu

My printer (the LaserJet 1100A) works in exactly the same way as yours regarding paper loading - I have a pair of moveable guides that are mechanically connected so that the paper always end up "centered" in the printer - I'm not convinced the driver realises this! I've been trying with lp (to print ascii text) because I assumed that this would be the simplest kind of printing, and that if this was broken, the problem must be with the driver. I've only just thought that I might be wrong - perhaps the simplest kind of printing is postscript (is this the "base" language that all printers talk?) If there are any HP printer devs reading this: how can I test out printing at its simplest, so that I can work out whether the problem is with the driver/ppd or whether the problem is in some higher-level application? I'll try out the A5 Openoffice and A5 postscript later today and report back. What do you use to print out postscript files (command line, like lp, or gui, like evince)?
