Using OOo 2.1, linux, Debian testing, Gnome.
I have this printing weirdness happening that has just started. As I
changed to OOo 2.1 at about the same time as getting a new printer,
it might be printer related, but I don't think so as it happens on
other printers also.
On the document at the web location below as soon as I tell it to
print the document is distorted. It appears fine in normal viewing
mode, but telling OOo to print makes it go weirs with frames going
to one character per line and a 2 page document becoming three. The
only way I've found to print it the way it looks is to export it to
pdf first.
Here is the original document www.new-life.org.au/Newsheet.odt
Here is the version after I click on "Print"

Any ideas about the cause will be gratefully received.
Assuming you're using KDE, define a new printer as kprinter. The
command line entry is simply: kprinter
This has been my default printer for sometime, as OO doesn't seem to
be able to simply use a system defined printer in Linux like it does
'Bloze. :(
Fred,
I'm using Gnome although I have KDE installed
I have no trouble with most other documents I produce- it's just these
newsheets which are admittedly fairly complex. The point is though
that the changes are being made in OOo for reasons I don't understand.
Unfortunately, I don't either. :( However, off and on I've had some
strange behavior from OO and the way I fixed it, was to use kprinter. I
think Gnome has something like kprinter, no?
Fred
