Lately I've been having a lot of trouble getting openoffice to print. Previously, it didn't work on the default install of openoffice, so I installed version 2.0 from www.openoffice.org. For a while, all worked fine, and now I'm having some trouble again. Openoffice will tell me its printing, the page gets sent to the printer, and... dissappears. The printer is a canon i250, shared on an xp machine. So when I look at the print jobs on the xp computer, I see a print job called Remote Downlevel Document show up for half a sec... with a size of 86 bytes. However, all test pages and gedit prints from my comp work fine. Even wierder, is that sometimes, it seems that I can get openoffice to print by increasing the page margins...

Confused...??:confused: So am I..

Hope someone can help.
