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.
That was true in the time of matrix printers, but technology has changed
since then.
The problem is in
the software.
The problem could be the software, but most time the problem is with the
user, that's why a forum like this
is a good source of help.
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,
This forum is to help other users, expression your frustrations doesn't
help others.
but if you can (or at least could) print
postcards, you seem to have figured out that part of the problem.
I have figured it out and it works. If you give us the size of postcards
you like to print or better send us a file
with an example I can inform you how to set the printer settings (in
OpenOffice).
If you have the version of OO that worked, I would suggest you
remove the present version and install the old one.
No need to remove the present version as it works on 4.1.1 as good as on
previous versions.
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!
