I had filed the same bug as #243953 therefore I report here what I have
reported in #243953.
As the same "problem" is in the latest Kubuntu Maevrick distribution I decided
to investigate a little bit further the probem :
- I built a landscape sheet with Kword and saved it in pdf file.
- I opened it with okular and print it : if you want to get the sheet correctly
you need to check "portrait".
- I opened the same sheet with acroread to check how this application was
handling the printing action : it is exactly the same : the sheet being built
as landscape is correctly printed if you leave portrait checked.
So portrait and landscape in printer settings have different meanings than in
the page setting of applications creating the page :
- in printer setting portrait leaves the page as is (ldanscape correctly
printed), whereas landscape forces printer to print the page in a 90° direction
compared to what you expect to get.
At the end of the day all this is very confusing and I simply suggest the
following :
- like in acroread show the page as is (landfscape or portait as built by the
creating application),
- but to improve user comprehension add another icon for the page as printed
depending of which radio button checked.
Like this everybody will be happy.
Thanks.
