Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't print a document

Hi :)
Sorry to ask but which OS or platform are you using?  Windows, Gnu&Linux or
some other?

I'm not sure if it is relevant but which version of LibreOffice?  The
"Help" menu under "About" usually gives that sort of information.

Also have you tried "print to file" instead of selecting a printer - and
then choose Pdf format so that you can have a quick poke around in the
resulting file to see if that looks about right or is also just blank.

Does the printer feed quite a few blank pages or does it just rattle a bit
and then just sit there glowering or acting all innocent or something?

Sorry i can't give any sensible suggestions!  Tim @ Kracked Press is often
good at printer issues.

Regards from
a Tom :)
