The most 3 diffrents Print format Files are Text Only, PCL or PS ( and sometimes
a little bit PJL )

Question is what cames out of abiword ?

Print from abiword in a file. Then look in it.

in earlyer versions of Star Office i had problems with printing. The PS files
were not clean and the Printer dumped the files or printed somethink diffrent to
what i want.

Best tipp is to check if the output print file of the program is right.

or its some sort of convert problem.

even try ifhp filter with Lprng. it´s runs really great!
