Have you tried first saving the document in the OO.o format and
then trying to print it?

Has anyone else experienced that some imported Word documents will not 
print from OOO Writer? Instead the error message "Could not start 
printer. Please check your printer configuration" is displayed. (There 
is nothing wrong with my printer configuration.) This only happens with 
some Word documents, others print without hesitation, but I have yet to 
identify what critical factor determines whether or not the document 
prints. Does anyone know what the problem is and whether there is a fix?

I will remember that this could happen when document format and format set 
in printer is not the same. I suggest you check that.

Yes I have, and it doesn't help.

I have checked page size (A4 in the original Word documents, A4 as 
default in OOo Writer, and on all my printers), so it's clearly nothing 
as simple as that. What other formatting might have an effect?
