Upgrade to Mac Catalina
Hi,
After upgrading to Catalina and downloading the latest Open Office 4.1.7 I
have had trouble printing correctly. Even though my document uses black for
the text font color, when printing it comes out as blue. I have gone
through the preferences to see if my settings are incorrect, but can't
figure it out.
Is this a problem with using Catalina with Open Office 4.1.7?
Thanks for your help,
Georgia

Thank you, Steven,
I've updated my printer software, restarted the computer. All documents and
templates I have print just fine so I think the problem is the template my
husband has been using. I'll keep working on it to get his template to
work--maybe make a new template for a user defined size.
I did subscribe to the User Forum but forgot how to post to the forum. This
was the first time I've posted myself so wasn't sure how to do that. Do I
need to go to the Forum Board and post there, or can I use the <
users@openoffice.apache.org> address to post from my mail program?
Thank you for your help,
Georgia

Make sure you have updated your printer drivers from the printer’s web site. Then restart your computer to implement those updated drivers. Then start OpenOffice and retry printing. Also make sure that your printer’s ink levels are good.
