I am having problems with Open Office when printing. I have ensured all the right boxes are ticked in OO and that the correct information is on my Epson properties before I go to print. All seems fine until I view the print in the Epson printer viewer. The page is snugly situated on the right corner of the paper (top quarter of the paper A4). It never happened with the previous version of OO only the updated version of 2.3.1. I have to print out a lot of work and its driving me crazy as I have (as far as I can see) looked at all the settings for printing and nothing stands out that I haven't ticked or unticked with OO. As far as the epson properties well they are fine as I have printed A4 no problem with other software. This is only happening with OO.

Hope you can advice and help

Go to File > Page Preview
Click on the view layout drop down and choose 1x1 page
Click the "Print page preview" button

Does that work correctly? Does it help with regular printing?

Thanks for your reply acknak, but it isn't the answer, it obviously has something to do with a conflict but how to sort it I have not the faintest idea. I have to have these printed by the end of the week and it needs sorting fast.....

Thanks

As a workaround to print these files quickly, you can export them as PDF.
You can also try to rename your OOo profile to check if there is a damaged configuration file (\Documents and settings\<user>\Application data\OpenOffice.org). Delete the new profile and give its name back to the former one if there is no difference.

Also make sure the "brochure" option is not selected (File> Print, Options button in lower left corner).
