I am using LO 25.2.4.3 (x86_64)
I have designed a form with many text boxes, a date field, etc. After completing the form and saving, the data is saved on a table so I can see all my customers at once, and then I print off the form as a record for that customer. All the Single-Line text boxes show a black flat border and print black, but the text boxes which are set to Multi-Line show a black border but print the border in grey. In Control Properties it doesn’t make any difference if border colour is set as Default or Black. Print Preview looks OK but the actual print is different.
Printer is a Canon IP2500 and hasn’t shown any problems elsewhere.
This might depend on the system and window manager you are using. Not a problem of the printer.
You could try to export to pdf and print the pdf file.
I can’t test it here, because printing will destroy the layout of the forms I’m using (Web-layout, not print layout). I only print through reports or through a Writer document.
Please upload an ODF type sample file here.
Printing a PDF gives the same results.
What is an ODF ?
This is the native file format of LibreOffice (Open Document Format).
Writer = ODT
Calc = ODS
etc.
