Is this with the internal print dialog or the system one? Hint: the internal dialog contains a preview.

Comment 3 Ladislav Kolacek 2016-01-14 13:38:06 UTC
It's internal print dialog.

Problem still persists in rhel 7.3

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2016-01-20 15:37:28 UTC
hmm, I do see a suspicious line in the collation area, but the original reported issue works fine for me so I can't quite yet tell if I have definitely found the original problem.

In the print dialog, select the printer you are printing to, click properties and in the properties dialog in the "device" tab what is written for "Printer Language Type" ?

Comment 5 Ladislav Kolacek 2016-01-21 11:13:17 UTC
Hi, 

"Printer Language type" is set to "Automatic: PDF"
