Description Merlin 2007-12-29 00:07:05 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
  Yesterday I had gnumeric 1.6.3 & tried to print:  only the bottom 1/4 of all characters printed (except for "Sheet1") and the page and characters were printed upside down.  Andreas Guelzow recommended loading a newer version of gnumeric with printing fixes.
  Today I have tried several:
  1) With 1.7.10 and with 1.7.12 :When I click on Print Preview under the File tab, a Paint window overlays the spreadsheet, e.g., a Microsoft Windows paint program is called up by the Print Preview button, I guess, with a name/address of "pr10TA4T-paint". When I click Print, black squares are printed wherever a spreadsheet cell is occupied.
  2) With 1.7.91 : There is no installation wizard attached, and my computer cannot open it.
  I must be doing something simple and wrong, but I know not what.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-12-30 03:05:56 UTC 
To get a preview you need to install and correctly configure a program that can handle pdf files. I have no idea how to do that in an os like MS Windows. GNumeric creates a pdf file and asks the operating system to open it. Under linux you can cofingure which program to use in .gtkrc-2.0

The black squares are clearly a duplicate of bug 444942 that seems to hit some MS Windows users.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
