Bug Description
Binary package hint: ghostscript
When I create a drawing in OpenOffice consisting of rectangle with white fill and a black border, the rectangle will be filled with yellow when I print it. I've tried changing most printing options (color correction, temperature, etc), this doesn't make a difference.
This did not occur on Karmic. I tracked it down to ghostscript: if I compile and install the ghostscript packages from Karmic in Lucid, the problem goes away.
I will attach a sample document and the resulting PostScript that is sent to the printer. The printer is a Xerox 6180MFP, which is a color printer with PS support.
Ubuntu version:
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Installed ghostscript packages (this is with the packages from Karmic, when the problem doesn't occur):

Can you also attach the original OpenOffice.org file? Thanks.
