My print is coming out incomplete (it gets cut off somewhere before the text)

I am trying to print out an A4-sized page in color containing both images and text. However, several times now the page gets cut off somewhere before the text starts (usually also cutting the majority of the image) as can be seen here:

Here is the odt file of the page:
casino.odt (369.8 KB)

My operating system is Windows 10 Pro

About my LO version:
Version: 25.8.5.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 9c8b85f387cc00a89945a79c9e6239f32e450ac2
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: nl-NL
Calc: CL threaded

The printer is an HP OfficeJet 6950

If you need any more info to help me, please let me know :slight_smile:

Without looking at your file, there are a few things you could check

It might be related to this. Older computers and even many more modern ones work better by changing the setting. Click Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View and tick the box Force Skia software rendering. OK and allow LibreOffice to restart.

Have you installed the HP drivers for this printer or are you relying on the generic drivers included in Windows? The HP software and driver will be more reliable

I see the HP website lists a critical firmware update for the printer but if you have the HP software probably this will have been addressed already.

Do other applications print ok? For example, if you exported to pdf. Can you print from Adobe reader ok?

[Edit]
I tried printing your file to Adobe PDF and got this error:

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
NotoSansSymbols2-Regular not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%
Stack:
()
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

For the moment, Export to pdf and print the pdf

[Edit 2]
It is the symbols that are causing the problem, select them and change the font to Segoe UI Symbol which you will have on your Windows computer.
.
Please report a bug for Noto Sans Symbols 2 font causing printing to stop, see How to Report Bugs in LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki

BTW you could change the clock symbol to :clock7: 7 o’clock

Thanks for your reply. I reported the bug here. Someone asked me if this is a LibreOffice issue or an Adobe Distiller issue and I am not sure how to figure that out. What do you think?

Bug report tdf#171347

I have printed the file in Pdf FactoryPro and I have no errors.
But the symbols appear to me without color (in black and white)

  • The problem may be in the font of the symbols or font substitution

Version: 26.2.3.2 (X86_64)

It fails to print correctly to an HP printer and it fails to print to Adobe Distiller but Distiller gives an error message saying where it was failing. Note that I do have Noto Sans Symbols 2 installed.

Maybe it is a Distiller (old version) and an HP printer issue? Maybe it is a Noto Sans Symbols 2 font issue and the above printers are more sensitive to the error. Or maybe Google Docs created the .odt (font shown as Aptos;Aptos MSFontService;apple-system;Roboto;Arial;Helvetica;sans-serif;serif;EmojiFont) and introduced an error.
