Bug#246303: sounds like an xprint bug
I don't know if OpenOffice uses xprint, but this problem sure sounds like
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=251067
[also
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=235592
and
http://xprint.freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1112
]
The following work-around is given in
/usr/share/doc/xprt-xprintorg/README.printing-problems.gz :
-------------
1) Remove Xprint's own font directory.
Xprint contains font information in the directory
/usr/share/Xprint/xserver/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts
If this directory is removed, then firefox prints www.debian.org
with correct spacing between words. The font used is sans-serif.
Xprint obtains information about fonts from other parts of the system.
Since this workaround has not been fully tested and its consequences
are not fully understood (other locales and printer models in
Xprint link to this directory), the fonts directory will be left
intact for the official release of Xprint in Debian.
A side-effect is that the date stamps for news entries on
www.debian.org are rendered using sans-serif font, where they
ought to be, I believe, rendered using a monospace font.
-----------
Hope this helps!
