Comment 10 for bug 886571

This bug hits me as well.

Running fully-updated Oneiric (Kubuntu, x86_64) and printing to two different HP printers (Deskjet 5550 and Laserjet 1320) via a CUPS 1.5.0 server running on FreeBSD 8.2.

The problem is reproducible on two independent machines. Using PDF as a printing language in Libreoffice Writer causes two problems:

- Page margins are not correct (usually the text body is shifted towards the right, I print to DIN A4 paper). This seems to happen regardless of the content of the document.

- For texts involving German (umlauts ä, ö, ü) or French (accents é, è, ...) special characters, the text is printed as garbadge, with ' or " characters replacing ca. 50% of the letters. For documents involving only English characters this does not seem to happen, however a single non-English character occurring in the document is sufficient to trash the entire printout.

Switching to Postscript as a printer language in Libreoffice solves both problems completely. PDF printing from other applications (okular) on the Linux clients as well as on the BSD server itself works flawlessly.

Downgrading "foomatic-filters" to 4.0.7 as recommended by Age did not resolve the issue in my case.
