Hello, I have been using Openoffice for quite some time now and really like it.
I am suddenly having an issue printing post cards though. I’ve been using the
same format and paper for well over a year but, suddenly my post card print is
half off the card. I contacted my printer support and they informed me that it
was a program issue and not the printer since thing is the only time (printing
post cards) is an issue. I tried uploading the most recent application of
Openoffice as well but, that didn’t clear things up either. when I pull up a
postcard on my program it looks fine but, when I go to “print preview” the
postcard is on the far left of the page and it looks like it’s trying to print
on the left side of a full piece of paper. I tried adjusting the paper
size/dimension but, that didn’t seem to help. Can you tell me what I’ve done
and how to correct this?
We can't tell what you have done, you should tell us.
Things you could check are:
The option to print multiple pages on one. This could be set within OpenOfice
and on most printers.
Check page formats especially the margins.
Check the zoom factor.
You should not have to change any setup on the printer. The printer should
print whatever the software sends it. The problem is in
the software. The only limitation on the printer is how close to the edge of
the media it will print, and that will apply to everything
you print. There are even some printers made to print right to the edge, for
photo purposes, but most have limits, which you could
look up in the specs.
I can't help you with OO or LO--I have abandoned them because they are too
complicated, but if you can (or at least could) print
postcards, you seem to have figured out that part of the problem. If you have
the version of OO that worked, I would suggest you
remove the present version and install the old one. It will probably be
difficult to find an old copy if you don't have one yourself.
I wish someone would tell the devs that the old saw is correct: If you play
with something long enough you'll break it!
Good luck!
