[Bug 888283] [NEW] Printing from LibreOffice is broken.

 

Public bug reported:

I've upgraded my local server from 9.10 to 11.10 and another workstation from 11.04 to 11.10 and unexpectedly printing from LibreOffice was broken. Printing from other sources (i've tried Firefox and Leafpad) works fine.
I have printer HP LaserJet P1005 with foo2xqx driver, firmare was downloaded by getweb means.
How it can be reproduced:
1) open LibreOffice Writer;
2) choose font 'Times New Roman' or 'Ubuntu';
3) enter the text below:
Проверка
Йцук
енгш
4) print it;
5) printed text is:
Проверка
ЙцПк
еППП
or something alike that. Wrong letters seems to come randomly in printed text.
If you choose such font as 'Nimbus Roman No9 L' then everything is printed well enough. Unfortunately upgraded ubuntu 11.10 does not allow me to start cupsd from 9.10 distro, it fails to start completely so only hope is to get it fixed.
