OpenOffice docs not printing

[jerilyn916]

I can't print any documents from OpenOffice. My printer is fine and will print from other applications (such as my email) but everytime I send a document from OpenOffice to print, it doesn't. I have rebooted my computer, deleted my printer and reinstalled. I was wondering if I should delete Openoffice and reinstall. But if I do that, will I lose all my previous documents? Please advise.

It's a well known problem where Windows 10 update installs the wrong printer driver.

Go to the manufacturer's site and download and install the correct printer driver.
