Thanks Tom for the Nabble upload info.

I only printed page 5 from LO 3.4.3 Win7 to an Epson Workforce 635; the
results were not pretty. I then exported as a PDF and that looked fine.
So I then printed to PDFCreator and the results of that PDF look nearly
the same as when printed to the printer.

Screenshot of page 5 with PDFCreator is here:

Scanned image of print (Win7 LO 3.4.3) is here:

[I printed in Black & White to save ink]

I then printed the same (page 5) from LO 3.4.3 linux to the same printer
& that printed properly. Exporting to PDF was fine, as was printing to
cups-pdf.

I'll uninstall 3.4.3 & reinstall 3.4.3 on Win7 & see if the results are
different.
