I nearly managed some people (very conservative ones) to use it. It can prints brochure, which is something they needed, but unfortunately the document to print contains some transparent pictures (very small ones, but at least 2 or 3 by page). And we noticed that printing those transparent object was creating ENORMOUS print job, that were long to spool, and longer to print.
I noticed that asking for a reduction in quality of those pictures was indeed transforming the whole pages as pictures in poor quality (instead of creating little low quality bitmaps around the transparent objects and preserving the texts around). This single "bug" is enough to prevent some people from adopting the product, I feel a little sad, and nobody seemed to take notice of me already mentionning the problem on oooforum.org.
I hope the problem will be resolved anyway, because openoffice.org really deserves widder adoption.
