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.
