I am sorry you are not getting any help. I wonder it it is an isolated issue for Fedora 16. If people have not see this happen before, it is hard to figure out what is causing it.
I have never had any issue with Ubuntu 10.04 and HP Color Laserjet 2600n. It has been a few years since I has a Laser 4 with postscript, but there has to be others out there that use Fedora/Red Hat and your printer model.
I cannot get LO to do the duplexing on my Epson printer. I end up printing the file out to a PDF file, then print it out with the default PDF viewer and it will work with the duplexing.
So is there any issues with printing/exporting the file to PDF then printing it out to your printer? Do your file require Postscript printing instead of HP default printer language?

Trying a third "new" list.> Libreoffice 3.4.4 on Fedora 16, x86_64. Printer: Laserjet 4M+ (Postscript Level 2) I used OOo for many years and never had this problem until I switched to Libreoffice. Whenever I print to this printer I must remember to go into Properties> Options> Device and change the print type from PDF to Postscript. If I do not the text will fail to be kerned according to the font metrics; that is, a proportional font will be spaced as though it was a monospace font. All other applications print fine. There is no setting for this in the driver, which uses a PPD file. I looked everywhere for a setting to set it to use Postscript as the default, but I can't find it. It is extra work to have to change this setting all the time. And usually I forget to change the setting and have to print the page again after I realize that I forgot. This is very annoying, and it wastes paper, toner and electricity. I really hope someone can tell me how to change the default behavior, else I will have to remove Libreoffice and reinstall OOo.
