Please describe the problem:
When I printed an all text worksheet the prints are black rectangles instead-- this is with Ver 1.7.10. With Ver. 1.6.3, I get a garbage-like printouts from the same all-text worksheet.

I am using an Epson LX300+ II and its driver is installed correctly. I confirm its correctness by printing an all-text document using AbiSoft. 

I'm running Gnumeric 1.7.10 on WinXP Pro Edition on an ASUS/Intel machine.

I have read this sort of "complain" around here but I failed to get a coherent resolution to the problem.



Steps to reproduce:
1. Installed Gnumeric 1.7.10
2. Created an all-text on a 6x6 matrix beginning at A1.
3. Did a normal print command by clicking on the usual buttons.
4. (Printer was turned on beforehand) And stood openmouthed in amazement after the printing was done.
5. Decided to make a simple document (like, the quick brown fox...) and print it using the same printer on the same computer and it printed fine.

Does this happen every time?
Always. And this happened also with version 1.6.3
