Hi Jean-Claude,

Thanks for reporting here. I expect that this is related to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View .. use OpenGL for all rendering.
I mark as duplicate of bug 94851. 
If I'm mistaken: then please reopen and apologies!
Cor

not a duplicate of bug 94851
Comment 4 V Stuart Foote 2015-12-02 14:55:19 UTC
@JCE,

Please confirm that you have:

1.) set Tools -> Options -> View: "Use OpenGL for all rendering" to unchecked
2.) restarted LibreOffice

Only that will disable use of OpenGL for testing.

Does your printing then include pictures/images?

If that resolves the print issue, please reset this as duplicate of bug 94851

If it does not, please provide complete details of your LibreOffice build--copied from the Help -> About LibreOffice dialog. And about your version of MS Windows--run "msinfo32.exe" and copy from the Summary panel, and the Components -> Display panel.

Thank you.

1- OpenCL set (default): Printing images fails
2- OpenCl disabled and LO5 Closed and reopened: printing images fails
3- OpenCl re-activated and LO5 Closed and opened: printing images fails
4- OpenCl disabled and LO5 closed and opened :              Printing OK
5- OpenCl re-activated and LO5 Closed and opened:           Printing OK

Activating/disabling several times OpenCL, each followed by close-Open LO5 seems to have cleared the bug. This bug report lost his purpose

@JCE,

Apologies for the hassle in reliably disabling OpenGL. That should resolve things for you until routines for detection of GPU model and drivers does it reliably within LibreOffice (so called blacklisting of you GPU).

I've gone ahead and set this as a duplicate of bug 94851--please reopen and set to Unconfirmed if that does not seem correct.

Please note that: 

OpenGL --Open Graphics Library-- is distinct from OpenCL --Open Computing Language-- and while the project utilizes OpenCL for parallelism of formula calculations in clac, it has no relationship to the the graphics routines--including some printing (at the 5.0.3 release) that use OpenGL (other than running on the same GPU hardware).

Sorry for mixing up OpenCL and OpenGL.

All my previous attempts were performed with OpenGL activated thus misprinting mixed files, but not always.
Never got the print of exported to PDF faulty.

New tests based on OpenGl activation give the following results.
OpenGL ON : ODT file print fails
OpenGL OFF : ODT file print pass
