[Solved] Not printing table cell grid?

Post by OOGeek »

Hello,
using LO 3.4.1 (Win7) here I see that table cell borders are not printed while preview looks okay?!
The borders are only printed correctly when the table is empty - as soon it contains text/images cell borders are blank.

This is the same when printing into a pdf or on paper suggesting it's not a driver problem.

ideas?

Can you upload the .odt file so that we have a look at it (see How to attach a document here)?

Works fine with 3.3.0. Can't test on LibO until this evening.
 Edit: Have tested the print to PDF only. But it works also with LibO 3.4.

I can confirm this. Printing problems in LibreOffice 3.4.0 have been reported as one of the most annoying bugs. Unfortunatelly the situation hs not improved much in LibreOffice 3.4.1.

It seems that cell borders do not work together with graphics so if you have to use cell borders ant graphics at the same time the only workoround is to export the document to PDF and then print it. Be aware - use the in-built export feature and do not export the file to the PDF under virtual printer.

Printing your 'Untitled 1.odt" works fine with LibO 3.4.2 RC1 (Borders > Line > Width: 0,5 pt).

I just note RC1 (GB UI) does not install the Australian dictionary (no checkmark) - how can I do that?
