Ubuntu Feisty Fawn / 7.04 (intel, desktop), Guys..., Ladies and Gentlemen, i don't know what happened but i just sent the OO-forum this message (because i was convinced it must have been a bug...), and read it, because i do not know WHY OO printed it just now..., for the first time all fine, the only thing i know is that i feel glad and hope it was not just an "incident" (see my 2 replies as i sent them in that OO- forum):
1) This is a long shot, but you're using Ubuntu Linux and probably the OOo version that came with it. I'm always noticing that one forum member or another will advice you not to use that version but to get the generic Ooo. Thank you for the reply. Yet OO or the specific gdi-driver of Samsung (well: i suppose it is a bug in OO..., not in gdi-driver of the printer) is not communicating, so to say. Never had this under Linux with OO and i have been using OO (before StarOffice) under Linux for a long, long time now... and had recognized (what is now named) OO as absolutely the best wordprocessor around. " I'm always noticing that one forum member or another will advice you not to use that version but to get the generic Ooo" Yes, people say a lot, but i am not sure whether those people really do know about what they are saying. I have OO version 2.2 but thanks to your answer it occured to me that i can report this bug at launchpad, i found out in my Open Office here i can click on 'report a bug'. So: that is now just what i did... Thank you very much for your reply though! Best Wishes, * 2) This is a long shot, but you're using Ubuntu Linux and probably the OOo version that came with it.

You may NOT believe this..., either do i, but when i look again at just what i printed just now... i have to (!)..., i mean: it is so fantastic that i want to share it with you, maybe due to latest updates of OO, i am not sure, but... all of a sudden the printing is FINE..., cannot believe this but it is true! Very nice, because it is an "important" letter to a company! So good news... The funny thing was that i could not set the printer Samsung ML1610 to generic printer at all, just now when i tried this after having read your reply..., but all of a sudden there was no option (where there had been yesterday). So i don't know exactly how, like whether it is the font type i was using (a rather "obscure" one maybe?) or the driver gdi or OO printer mis-align in those settings or a mixture of this, but really totally to my surprise, just yesterday it did NOT work and i have to say i just now changed the font type..., (had'nt done so deliberately) but... IT WORKS NOW FINE... OO prints wonderfully! Same driver setting (gdi) Same paper size (folio) and manual feed just everything the same (except that i changed the font type and that i somehow could not choose in options in the printer settings 'generic' or so, all of a sudden unlike yesterday and the days before..., and that now ML1610 seemed to be stuck and no other options to choose...) So i may have reported the bug at launchpad now for nothing..., because just before i printed... and just after my first reply to you... to my very glad surprise the result of OO printing is... wonderfully fitting the page as is in my experience normal for OO to print like this and always has been my experience in Linux environments. Computers are crazy. This has been proved / proven to me once again! Maybe it was CUPS (common unix printing system) all the way, of which i received updates just yesterday and that now it all is corrected in OO... (but i had printed yesterday with OO and it was not good...) I know it is a lot of guessing that i do (whether it was the font type, or this socalled CUPS, or just OO-bug then or all of it together, i actually do no more care about it now!) , yet ...... sooo glad that OO printed it all fine... as i am used to. I know there can be people "out there" who simply can't believe this... (but they do not see the letter for the company i just printed out here all fine in alignment, unlike yesterday!). Hope all will work perfect further... and so i hope i do not have to visit this forum anymore. Thanks for your reply again, though. I say it again: computers are crazy (and especially Linux maybe...,); i hope however everyone is glad with her/his own whatever brand computersystem!
