I looked for and found the original image. The circular logo was actually flattened vertically about 7%. To change this, I had used Paint Shop Pro's Image/Resize command to expand the image vertically about 7%. For some reason, printers expanded it another 7%, resulting in the printed logo appearing stretched vertically by that amount! Even after I had transferred the OO text to PDF format!

After several trials, I decided to use OO's "Picture" feature to insert the original flattened logo onto the newsletter page, but this time, I expanded it 7% vertically using the Picture command, not Paint Shop Pro. I then converted the text to PDF, printed it on the laserjet and the logo kept its shape.

Greg, When I print to a PDF

Greg,

When I print to a PDF (with PDF995), the logo looks just fine. But when I print the PDF through my laserjet, it becomes an oval! I've changed the logo's anchoring a few times, from "page" to "character", with the same results. I should add that it appears the same through other peoples' printers as well.

The newsletter is distributed through email, so it must be in PDF format, but whenever anybody prints it out, that logo stretches to an oval.

Try printing it to a PDF

Try printing it to a PDF first to see if you get the same results. if that displays it fine, then just print the PDF.

(and if its still printing as an oval in the PDF, then keep printing to PDF to check it to save time and waste less paper)

If OO doesn't have a native way to print to PDF, google "pdf 995". It installs as a printer, so when you go to print, just select that driver. It's ad based, each time you do a print it pops up a browser with an ad. Not too annoying for an otherwise free PDF generator. (note, there may be others, I just started with that one years ago and stuck with it).
