as a quick fix to printing problems, it's possible to print to pdf
(export to pdf with ooo) and print the pdf document
sometime it works...

<Sigh> Isn't it beyond belief that a piece of software (Megabytes big!)
provided by one of the biggest companies has to be 'fiddled' before the
damn thing will print a (simple) document produced using this software
(OpenOffice)?
Due more to good luck than anything, last night I found a simple
reference, in a message in the Sun's OpenOffice 'help' forum, which
provided me with the information to get OO to print. As you suggest in
your response, for which I am grateful, it ALL has to do with outputting
the document to a pdf file and then printing that.
The whole process involves trickery worthy of Harry Potter.
I used Microsoft Office for years, using the printer I mention in my
original post (the Lexmark 4039 plus), and it NEVER even considered not
printing at the first attempt.
Why is OpenOffice such a bitch about printing?
Or is it a problem with openSuse? Don't know.
Anyway, many thanks for your response and I have finally got OpenOffice
to *print* a document!
Ciao
