Re: [libreoffice-users] Bad printing quality if printer language ir PDF

Hi :)
Have you tried exporting to Pdf first?  There is a ton of settings in the dialogue-box so that you 
can set the compression type and amount, the dpi of images and soem tick-boxes that might be worth 
playing with.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

I had a hard time, tracking down the reasons for bad printing quality
when using LibeOffice.

* When the printer language is set to PDF (either in File-> Print ->
Properties -> Device or via printer-properties)
  - grafics (logos) have pixeled edges
  - fonts are pixeled and of very poor quality
* When setting the printer language to "Postscript", the quality is good.
* When exporting the document to PDF and printing this directly (using
lp), quality is good.

I inspected the print-job attributes and did not find any relevant
difference.

How can I enhance the printing quality with printing language PDF?


Details:
LibreOffice 3.4.4.2
Printer supports 600x600 dpi and 600x1200 dpi
