Bug ID: 149263
Summary: Spreadsheet created as DIN A3 and sent to a generic
printer (DIN A4) creates no paper size warning, yet
printing it
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LO seems to be not aware of the fact that an attached printer handles DIN A4
papers only which is quite common. So when sending an A3 LO calc sheet (which
is 141 % of the size of an A4 paper, it prints it with no alarm but only 71% of
that huge content of the A3 sheet on an A4 sheet, yet leaving a lot of the
image gone to nirvana.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a spreadsheet in DIN A3 (no matter portrait or landscape)
2. have it sent to a printer (probably an older generation ink jet)
3. in my case a brother MFC-J6510 which is nine years old
4. the internal paper tray is loaded with A4 paper
5. print the content
Actual Results:
6. A4 is being loaded and the content of A3 paper is being printed on an A4
paper
7. There is no warning about this mismatch !
8. There is no dialog about whether the ontent shall be resized to match the
printer and its paper tray.
Expected Results:
If someone has created a sheet with a size other than the generic DIN A4 (in
Europe, whereas it is probably letter format in the US), I'd expect LibreOffice
to reconfirm somehow about that the paper sizes may not be matching.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
My printer has no sensor about which paper is being loaded to the tray, even it
can be loaded with both A4, and A4 papers. This has to be set manually in the
printer's menue.
