Okay, today I upgraded to version 6.4.7.2, and the problem is, if anything,
worse.  I began by trying to print a 3-page letter with a piece of clipart at
the beginning and end of the letter.  Note that I printed this letter with no
problem using normal settings just a week ago using the previous version of
Libre Office.
Today I used the "fast normal" setting for my HP PSC 1410 printer.  The
printing started immediately, but began by only printing the clipart at the end
of the letter, leaving the rest of page 3 blank.  Then there was a pause of
three minutes and five seconds, after which it began printing page 2 and then
continued right into page 1.  Page 1 and 2 ended up looking as they should for
reduced quality, but as I said, page 3 was blank except for the clipart at the
end of what should have been a full page of text.  Printing was slow overall,
even though it should have been faster than usual.
Then I tried printing the document using normal settings.  Again it began
printing immediately, but again failed to print any of the text on page 3, just
printing the ending clipart.  It continued right into page 2, then page 1, with
no pause, taking 90 seconds for the full document.
I then tried with a different 3-page document; this time with no clipart, just
a few boldface titles.  The first printout, in normal setting, started
immediately and ran straight through, finishing all three pages in 55 seconds. 
But when I tried printing the same document again using the fast normal
setting, printing did not start for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.  It printed page
3 fairly quickly, then paused for almost four minutes before it began printing
page 2.  It paused again halfway through the page for one minute, then printed
about ten lines and paused again for over three minutes.  It hiccuped along
like this until it finally finished the three pages in a total of just under 13
minutes.  At least all three pages were complete.
Sooooo, we don't seem to have made any improvement, at least not in v. 6.4.7.2.
I'm concerned that this newer version is not even printing as well as the
previous version. I'm not sure I want to try the beta 7.1 version, since things
seem to be going backward for me.  Recommendations?
