Have you tried the "Print to PDF" feature in OpenOffice. I use this often to check the way the document will look when printed. While it's a solution to use print to file, have you checked for an updated printer driver? Sometimes these drivers are dashed off so fast that there are errors. Have you tried using your manufacturer's printer driver for a sibling printer, e.g. same brand, different model, but close and of the same type. Sometimes that works because the drivers are not rewritten from scratch for each model. I'd check for a slightly older or younger printer model driver.

The only way I have found to produce a document with the text in the correct place is to print to file then print the postscript file that is produced by this action.
