I did it

Linux is pretty. At least all the versions I've used were pretty.

Um, have you used Linux in [i]this[/i] millenium?  How many years ago did you try it?

He is right about the what prints out part. I am going nuts trying to get open office to print without messing up anything (like making no upper margin and a 4 inch bottom margin). I have the same issue when printing PDF's, but it isn't my printer. That just drives me up a wall, now I have to hike to a computer lab and the only computer's I am sure I can always use 24/7 are Mac's (well, I just need Office so what the heck) but I can't print from them. I have to print to a network printer, which then means I have to hunt it down.

I use postscript laser printers, and I don't have any problems. I know a lot of printers are really windows-only printers -- the manufacturer doesn't put any brains in the printer, and they have proprietary drivers.

Way to go.

It is an HP printer and the first page prints normal (form Open Office) but after that each page is moved down about 2 inchs. If I say print page 1 and then page 2 and then page 3 (one at a time) they come out normal but a the text is redish brown. Like Iron (III) oxide color. I am thinking about just putting it in the storage server and saving it as a PDF and then printing in the chem student's only discussion room/computer lab.

Not the latest version of Red Hat, but the previous one.

Red Hat hasn't been making distributions since 2003, so your experience is at least 4 years out of date... which is a very long time in open source development!

Sorry. I might be able to fix it if I was there, but I can't help from here. Inkjet, I guess?

I just wave my arms and print from a campus printer.
