It is *still* a driver/system issue. With the HP set 'collate' on your
printer settings and see if it prints multiple copies. For both you, and
JJJ, these might be of interest:

There you will find others with 8.10 having the same problems - not only
with OOo, but with Gimp and other packages. I recommend that both of you
register on launchpad (upper right corner of the page) and apply
comments to whichever bug applies to you most, or even file a new bug.
That is the only way that it is likely to get resolved.

FWIW I see no issues with 8.04 (Hardy) or 8.10 (Intrepid) - both 32bit -
using my Canon MP750. However, for that printer I use a 3rd party
(Turboprint) driver as I was having other issues (alignment) with the
foomatic driver in cups. And that is printing from the following:

OOo 2.4.1 (Ubuntu OOo)
OOo 2.4.2 (OOo version)
OOo 3.0.1 (Ubuntu OOo PPA)
OOo 3.0.1 (OOo version)
OOo 3.1 (OOo Dev snapshot version)
