Greetings
I have set up my hard drive installed Puppy 1.0.6 with CUPS printing to a HP Laserjet 4. Abiword and Mozilla print great. On the otherhand, Sylpheed just prints a blank page(s). Do I need to change anything in Sylpheed? I have searched the Net for any help and am now resorting to the Forum.
many thanks Ivan

27Sept05Abiword version 2.2.7 used in Puppy still has the printing bug that causes some pages to print with text displaced upward on the page. This is due to a malformed Postscript in the header of the page, or so it seems. <gripe>the Abiword developers have known about this bug for 2 years</gripe> But there may be light at the end of the tunnel and I hope to have Abiword 2.4 in the next Puppy, with that bug fixed. Note, this bug also affects printing from other apps such as Sylpheed and Leafpad, that use Abiword as a commandline text-to-Postscript converter.

Not sure if this is fixed?
If you are using the latest Puppy Tardis 1.0.7 add it to the bugs section
