I have 5 different printers near my home/office desk.  All of the 
different models and/or companies have PDF vs. Postscript [levels 1 - 3] 
as a driver based printing option.  Well, printing using the Postscript 
printing [I default to level 3] always seem to work petter than using 
the PDF print "driver" option.  Sometimes it solves other issues with 
printing besides print quality.

I have seen some issues in the past for the the option not being saved 
in the LO printer options, but I have not looked into that issue for 
many versions.

Still, I would look into which printer option works best for your 
printer and set that as you default.
