Print from abiword in a file. Then look in it. in earlyer versions of Star Office i had problems with printing. The PS files were not clean and the Printer dumped the files or printed somethink diffrent to what i want. Best tipp is to check if the output print file of the program is right. or its some sort of convert problem. even try ifhp filter with Lprng. it´s runs really great! L8ters daniel
