I have never encountered this problem and have no solution. But may be
it's possible to work around this problem by exporting to PDF and
printing from a PDF viewer.


Cheers,

Thought of a similar solution. You could also try PostScript: instead of
sending to the printer, in the same print.. dialog save it to a file. Then
print as many copies as you need (use xpp, gv, etc.).

'Tis amusing that 2 folks would both suggest printing to PDF.  When I
got home from work today, my college sophomore son informed me he had a
workaround -- print from PDF.

Of course, I'd like to know what's really going on ...

My thanks to those who responded.

[gentoo-user] font corruption ???

2007-09-26 Thread David Relson
My wife uses my gentoo workstation with Open Office Writer to prepare
documents for my son's Boy Scout troop and has encountered printing
problems.

The environment is cups-1.2.10-r1, openoffice-bin-2.3.0, xorg-x11-7.2,
xorg-server-1.3.0.0, etc.

After starting OOw, the first document (typically a single page) is
fine.  Reprinting it, gives garbled output.  An example is word When:
printing as $ henC: and Where: printing as $ hereC.  Typically
capital letters, digits and punctuation are off (with the same wrong
character for the same original character, i.e. $ instead of W, )
instead of S, etc).

Exiting OOw, restarting it, and printing the document gives similar
results -- first copy good, second copy munged.

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

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

Thanks.

David
