a) In any version of LibreOffice in the print dialog or in "printer options" you can temporarily override the default print job format for that document for the current session. That won't "stick" permanently (it's not supposed to). b) In spadmin it *should* have been possible to override the print job format permanently an individual printers as a workaround. That didn't work and is now fixed on master as 08597f2897e5ac752147c8f2c4a91bb557ed4580 b) In LibreOffice 4 under tools->options->print there is now an additional checkbox to disable using PDF as the default print job format for all printers as 59b98580bfd70205a9ebdb0ba67e74225d875b43
Working under the assumption that the problem is not in our PDF output, but instead is due to probably multiple different bugs in probably multiple pieces of the cups stack, this is the best I think we can do on our side. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems#Finding_where_the_problem_lies for a useful guide to finding what component in the cups stack that might be causing your individual problems in order to track down the root causes. If anyone has any evidence that there really is a fault in our PDF generation then please open a new bug for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040037 Title: Libreoffice will no longer print landscape page Status in CUPS - Common Unix Printing System: Fix Released Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “cups-filters” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” source package in Quantal: Invalid Bug description: Since update yesterday, landscape pages print as portrait printing to a Brother DCP 135C. Print preview shows a landscape layout, but output from printer always comes out as a portrait page. The problem did not occur two days ago, and does not occur when printing from other applications (eg pdf viewer). WORKAROUND: Export the file as a pdf and print that using the pdf viewer. [IMPACT] Landscape-formatted documents from LibreOffice get printed rotated and cut off on all printers using Ghostscript's built-in drivers ("pxlmono", "ljet4", "hl1250", ...), perhaps also with other drivers. [TESTCASE] Print the attached file test.pdf via lp test.pdf on a printer using one of Ghostscript's built-in drivers (not CUPS Raster). Result is the content being rotated by 90 degrees and the rightmost portion of the content cut off. The same job comes out correctly when the proposed package is installed. [Regression Potential] Patch is simple, there should be no regressions.
