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.
