Hi,

Good point and I actually had that problem first. The HP 4M driver that
comes in printconf defaults to A4. Once I changed it the jobs from the the
test page, OpenOffice and Abiword printed fine. Netscape presented a
different error (40 MIO Error) using the same command (lpr) as AbiWord. It
doesn't seem to be related to the paper size.

Hi folks,

Bert here.

I get this too from my Windoze computers.  From memory it's tied up with
the paper size setting.

We use A4 here and Letter will cause this problem.

Try that and see what happens.

Cheers,
Bert
