Pedro, I've also tried your 2nd document (please let's keep this in the same thread) and it prints with no problems as well. I've used (linux): OOo (Ubuntu) 2.3.0) OOo 2.3.1 OOo 2.4.1 OOo 3.0 Beta (M17) The fact that it prints to a PDF for you, but not to your printer indicates to me that the issue is probably with your printer settings. Perhaps the fact that the item is an Calc object within a frame makes the difference. When you copied the table and then pasted into the document the table got pasted into a frame. You can verify this by double-clicking the frame, or right-clicking the frame and select 'Edit'. Try this instead: o select & copy the cells that you want o in writer; Edit|Paste Special|Unformated text That will paste the text of the cells into the document without pasting as a Calc object. Try printing to your HP. If that works, then it is definately a printer setting issue - either within your driver or Writer. In Writer: o Tools|Options|OO.o Writer|Print|Contents - check to see that the following are enabled: Graphics, Tables, Drawings, Controls, Background. Do not enable 'Print black'. o In Tools|Options|OO.o Writer|Compatibility - uncheck 'Use printer metirics...' if it is checked. That's about all that I can think of for now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
