Only the images print - no text!

Post by Artt »

When I print a page that has any images on it, only the images print and no text. If I delete the pics the text will print. I have version 2.3.0 installed.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Try to change the anchoring of the pictures.
If you export as PDF, is it fine?

First of all, upgrade to 2.3.1 if you can. All the x.x.1 versions are dedicated to bug fixes.
Second, please have a look at the Survival Guide (see the link in my sig line). What OS version are you running, and what printer model? I saw some reports of this a couple of years ago involving Brother printers and WinXP. The solutions there was to anchor the images as character (NB: not "to" character)

What is selected in Tools> Options> OpenOffice.org Writer> Print?
Does the document look okay in Page Preview and export correctly to PDF?
Have you tried downloading and installing a fresh copy of your printer driver?
Cheers!
