Both very good suggestions. Regarding IPP; I've experienced no problems
with IPP via Windows to my Ubuntu system... Well other than the fact
that I found out that Vista & newer versions of XP don't like "IPP" in
the link & need "http" instead.

@Linda: This might also be of some help
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ
Also, I spend a fair amount of time testing OOo (primarily the standard
OOo/non-Ubuntu versions), so if you'd like to directly send me a sample
of a document that is experiencing the problem I'll be happy to take a
look at it and see if I can figure out what the problem might be. Please
also include the OOo version(s), what type of printer, printer port
settings, and if the printer is set to print RAW or spool etc. I can
only test the Windows side via WinXPPro and Win2KPro.
