My wife uses my gentoo workstation with Open Office Writer to prepare |
2 |
documents for my son's Boy Scout troop and has encountered printing |
3 |
problems. |
4 |
|
5 |
The environment is cups-1.2.10-r1, openoffice-bin-2.3.0, xorg-x11-7.2, |
6 |
xorg-server-1.3.0.0, etc. |
7 |

After starting OOw, the first document (typically a single page) is |
9 |
fine. Reprinting it, gives garbled output. An example is word "When:" |
10 |
printing as "$ henC:" and "Where:" printing as "$ hereC". Typically |
11 |
capital letters, digits and punctuation are off (with the same wrong |
12 |
character for the same original character, i.e. "$" instead of "W", ")" |
13 |
instead of "S", etc). |
14 |
|
15 |
Exiting OOw, restarting it, and printing the document gives similar |
16 |
results -- first copy good, second copy munged. |

I don't think the problem is a printer issue as it (a networked Brother |
19 |
7820N) seems to work fine off our kids' WinXP machine. |

Anybody seen this problem or have suggestions how to fix it? |

Thanks. |
