Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, fully updated (although I'm having to boot from
kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, not the current version... separate issue, I
think.)

OpenOffice.org version 3.1.1 - OOO310m19 (Build:9420). Or, alternately
(depending on where I'm looking) openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1.

My printer is an HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One.

I have newsletters I print out every month for our members, and I do so
one page at a time, so that I can print double-sided copies. Page one
has color graphics, and so I print out however many copies I need of it
(roughly 100) using "Normal" printout Mode (auto-detect paper type) and
Resolution is set to "300dpi, Color, Black + Color Cartr." These print
out perfectly every time (although sometimes way too many copies... no
idea about that.)

Then I put those pages back in the feed tray properly so as to print on
the back side of them, and I try to print the same number of copies,
only of page two instead page one, and I select "Draft Grayscale" and
"300dpi, Draft, Grayscale, Black Cartr." I select "OK", and then the
screen flashes a few times, and my entire system seizes up. Nothing
works, and there's no soft reboot as an option. Powering off, and then
back up again is the only fix. When I do power back up, the Ooo document
recovery app is right there to greet me, and it seems to do an OK job of
salvaging the file itself, but the document is a blank onscreen untiI
close Ooo and start it back up again.

I tried printing page four of the same newsletters, both in color and in
draft grayscale, both single and multiple copies, but it printed just
fine. For whatever reason - and it sounds just as crazy to me as it does
to you - the problem is with page two of any ODT documents I try to
print. Quite honestly, I have yet to try printing page two Normal, and
in color, but will do so if you would like. Please advise on how to
proceed. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
