The Printer Language is set by LibreOffice. If you open the print dialog, klick on the printer and then on properties you get a new window. Select the tab device and here you have the printer language PDF (don't know if the Words of the tab etc. are correct since I use a german version). Again: setting this to PostScript (Level of the Driver) resolves the problem - but that are too much clicks for a print job. > Did you download and install the HP drivers for Linux?
