This bug hits me as well.
Running fully-updated Oneiric (Kubuntu, x86_64) and printing to two
different HP printers (Deskjet 5550 and Laserjet 1320) via a CUPS 1.5.0
server running on FreeBSD 8.2.
The problem is reproducible on two independent machines. Using PDF as a
printing language in Libreoffice Writer causes two problems:
- Page margins are not correct (usually the text body is shifted towards
the right, I print to DIN A4 paper). This seems to happen regardless of
the content of the document.
- For texts involving German (umlauts ä, ö, ü) or French (accents é, è,
...) special characters, the text is printed as garbadge, with ' or "
characters replacing ca. 50% of the letters. For documents involving
only English characters this does not seem to happen, however a single
non-English character occurring in the document is sufficient to trash
the entire printout.
Switching to Postscript as a printer language in Libreoffice solves both
problems completely. PDF printing from other applications (okular) on
the Linux clients as well as on the BSD server itself works flawlessly.
Downgrading "foomatic-filters" to 4.0.7 as recommended by Age did not
resolve the issue in my case.
