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.

David
