Why converting one foreign file format to another foreign file format? RTF is
a native MS file format, poorly supported by LibreOffice. On Windows XP you
have the WordPad and you may also install the MS Word Viewer to read RTF,
doc and docx file formats. Then there are several PDF printers for free
download. I can recommend FreePDF. On the command line you might be able
call the MS application with a printer argument to print out the documents
in question to the virtual PDF printer.

I may have missed a few messages in this thread, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm wondering what the problem actually is. If you just want to print the RTF file, LO ver. 3.4.4 does it perfectly, at least for me. Preserves font, preserves formatting (I receive material that's fully justified, and it maintains that). It appears OK on screen, and then it prints OK. I just tried converting that file to PDF in LO, opened it with Adobe Reader, and printed it. It was OK on screen, and it printed perfectly on my LaserJet. In other words, all the operations were perfectly transparent to the original RTF file, made on a PC with Microsoft (I think--or it could have been made on an older Mac with Microsoft). I am absolutely sure about the MS source, however.

I am using Libre 3.4.4 on PCLinuxOs, latest upgraded version, KDE 4.6.5, kernel 2.6.38.8.

I don't know what it would do with an image--I don't even know if RTF supports images. But text is no problem.
