Printing Option in Open Office does not transmit to CUPS

No, it doesn't work!

Malev,

I assume the problem is ONLY in OpenOffice.Org (in Ubuntu).

First, let us check Language-Support in your PC;
this can be done on this way:
<Application> button..., <System>...,
<Language Support>...
Look whether your preferred language does not have a MINUS; mark it ON and below choose <Apply>
If it was not complete, then the rest will be installed...
If it was complete already, then nothing will happen...
Now choose <OK>.

Secondly, let us RE-Install OpenOffice.Org; this can be done on this way:
<Application> button..., <System>...,
<Synaptic Manager>...
Click in the right side pane, with all program names, begin typing OpenOffic..
On the packages
   OpenOffice.Org,
   OpenOffice-Writer
   and your-langauge-part of OpenOffice.Org
right-click,
and choose: "Complete Re-Installation"
On top click on "Apply Changes"
OpenOffice.Org will be downloaded again
and new installed.

Few questions for you:

? If you start OpenOffice.Org-CALC, can you see anything there ? Is it a OOO-Writer problem only ?

? If you start MousePad, do you have the same problem ?

? Was the problem from the beginning, or did it appear after a while ?

? Start a new document in OOO-Writer, change the FONT to someting else, but familiar (e.g. Courier-10Pitch), change the size to 11 Pts;
start typing, what happens now ?
? Can you PRINT this what you typed; what comes on the paper ?

On you image, i see that even the menues have little dashes...
perhaps your fontsize in OOO is set to VERY SMALL... Try to look at this place (if you can read it...) in OOO, choose Extra, Options, View;
on the right pane you can set several options for displaying things; look what can be set larger or can be set to system-font.

Hopes with your information we can manage to cope this problem.

Hi

Have you been able to run Menting's suggestion? Please let us know how it went.

Thanks
Regards and good luck from
Tom

Well,
I haven't tried everything yet.
About the printing, when I print, there isn't anything printed on the paper!

I will need more time to do everything from Menting's qestion!
