             Bug #: 52626
           Summary: Text above the default 1" upper margin is not printed.
                    Printer can do and is set for borderless
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: 3.5.5.3 release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)

I just dl & installed 3.5.5 on a ubuntu-10.04-4 LTS system as I needed to make
an address label for a small box.

First, I slid the border marking arrows up and to the left so they were out of
play.  Then selecting 18 point font in liberation-serif, I typed my name and
address in 3 lines in the upper left corner.  Then I went down about to the
3.25" mark and typed in the destination address in 4 lines, tabbed to the right
quite a ways.

Looked at the print preview, looked good, so I hit the print button, and my
Epson NX1-515 did its thing, sans my name at the top of the page.  So I spaced
that down one 18 point line & reprinted, getting about the bottom 2/3rds of my
name.  I verified in your printer wizard that the printer was indeed set for
borderless, and did a test page which seemed to be ok, with some evidence of
nozzles needing cleaning, a bit of overspray.

So I went back to the top of the page and inserted another blank line 6 points
tall, and took a 22 point line out of the middle to pull the destination
address back up to where it belonged.

I've been using the old openoffice since it went free many years ago, and do
not recall having this sort of a problem before.

This ubuntu install is 32 bit despite the amd phenom 4 core cpu.

This is not a showstopper unless I want to reprint my Christmas card again, as
one half the page, folded in the middle, is a borderless photo.

But in this case it turned a 10 minute job into 3 pages of wasted paper and ink
over about 30 minutes.  Libreoffice should be capable of doing a truly
borderless printout if the printer is capable of that.

Thank you.

Gene
