oneiric libreoffice doc looks fine on screen but prints as mostly commas on hp P1102w printer

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep libreoff

Thanks

All I can recommend is run:

ubuntu-bug libreoffice-gnome

And report the issue. At least you have a work around printing via PDF, Could try opening the file in Abiword too.

you'll need to reinstall your hplip file. there isn't an updated one on hp's site for 11.10 yet. but if you have your old driver handy, you can reinstall that. i did and it works for me.

actionparsnip, thanks. I was refraining from reporting a bug because I wasn't sure the problem was in LibreOffice but maybe in the HP driver or CUPS or ... ?

Marcus Aurelius, thanks. I installed the latest version of HPLIP from http://hplipopensource.com but that did not work for me.

I did a fresh install of 11.10 from CD and I don't seem to have the comma problem from that; the problem happens on machines that have been upgraded from 11.04.

You say that a PDF prints OK. I assume that you did File > Export as PDF...

Can you go to File > Print > General tab > Device and see what Printer Language Type is selected and maybe change it and see if that makes any difference.

I have almost the same problem.
On 11.10 LibreOffice docs looks fine on screen but complete unreadable when printed. A lot of charachters has switched or been replaced by others. For example all "r" and "e" are now "a".
If I export my .odt to a .pdf I can open it with the document viewer and print it out perfect.
the problem appears both in write and calc.

I have the same problem (appears when Polish characters are used in Writer/Calc/etc). In File -> Print -> {printer} -> Properties -> Device tab -> Printer Language Type, I need to select "Postscript Level 3" instead of "PDF" and then printout looks ok. Does anyone know how to get rid of "PDF" option in that menu?

To barteksalsa - Yes it worked! Changing PDF to Postscript Level 3 in Device tab all seems to be OK.
