Well after a few installs latter I have found the problem. I was not looking too hard the other day.
There is a real problem if under spadmin --> <printer> -->Properties --> Font Replacement you have "Enable font replacement" selected.
Looks like there is a bug in this area of the software. If selected all printouts with font replacement selected will stuff up the printout if any of the fonts marked to be subsituted are in the document. Also printing this document can corrupt the actual document depending on its complexity.
I really hate to say this, Graham, but mine was checked, and mine still printed fine. Do you use kprinter --stdin as your printer? I was hoping you had found the problem, and if it works for you, great. I suspect it could be files left over from earlier installs or something, as it works fine here (so far). I just wanted to let you know, not to contradict, but to maybe help find the real root of the problem.
Thanks for that Joe, I'm still investigating the matter. Maybe it is a bad font that it is subsituting to, don't know but the problem goes away once I disable the font replacement. I'll be trying it at the office tomorrow, I know I did have trouble with OOo1.1.0-RC5 there, but the documents were printing OK. It just froze up for a while before printing. BTW when investigating the problem I think I tried about every combination of printers commands without any luck. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
