Hi.
In File> Printer Settings, under options is the device printer
language setting (PDF/Postscript).
Is this a Libreoffice configuration or a system configuration. I ask
because some documents print fine with postscript but not with PDF.
If it is a LO function I will file a bug.
Thanks, steve
Unless I misunderstand the question, Postscript will be a _printer_
setting. HP printers understand Postscript, maybe some others do.
So if your printer understands Postscript, you can use that setting
in your operating system to communicate with the printer, and
everything you send, including the output of LO, your PDF reader,
whatever it may be, and any other file you send to the printer
will be encoded in Postscript by the operating system and delivered
as such to your printer.

Thanks. I am printing to a printer not a file. If I select postscript
in this printer dialogue setting, printing is correct. If I select PDF
printing is not correct.
I can't include a screen shot to show you the dialogue. Oops, just
notice it is File>Print>Properties>device or File>Printer
settings>Properties>device.
There I have Printer Language Type. If this setting changes the way LO
outputs to the printer, then there is a bug in LO.

I have 5 different printers near my home/office desk. All of the
different models and/or companies have PDF vs. Postscript [levels 1 - 3]
as a driver based printing option. Well, printing using the Postscript
printing [I default to level 3] always seem to work petter than using
the PDF print "driver" option. Sometimes it solves other issues with
printing besides print quality.
I have seen some issues in the past for the the option not being saved
in the LO printer options, but I have not looked into that issue for
many versions.
Still, I would look into which printer option works best for your
printer and set that as you default.
