From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115 Description of problem: The CUPS printing system and drivers in Phoebe 2 allow easy definitions of printers based on the hpijs-rss driver for my HP970C printer with varying resolution for fast or fine printing. However, OpenOffice Writer behaves very wierdly. If I print with a printer having a definition of 1200dpi, it magnifies the text rather than printing it normal size. Other apps like KWord and Abiword behave as expected, allowing fast printing at 300dpi and slow but precise printing at 1200dpi, all at the same magnification. The left margin is also moved way to the right. The dpi setting for the printer definitions can be varied, and OpenOffice just prints larger and larger text as the dpi is increased, whereas the other apps print a fixed size but with greater quality as the dpi is increased. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice-1.0.1-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open OOfice writer 2.Create a text document 3.Print the document with the printer set to various dpi values Actual Results: The printed text size varies, increasing with larger dpi settings. The left margin moves to the right, also. Printing time does not increase with higher dpi settings. The right hand end of a text line runs off the edge of the page. Expected Results: Text size should remain constant with different printer dpi settings. The quality of the printout should increase (longer printing times of course) with higher dpi. Additional info: Page Preview does not show any document text.
This behaviour still exists in Phoebe 3 (OpenOffice.org 1.0.2)
caolanm->gerry: Is this still the case with a contemporary openoffice.org e.g. 1.1.2-10
No, I just tested it in openoffice.org-1.1.2-10.fc2 and it now works as it should. This bug should be closed.
