From Leap42 I can print a landscape document correctly on a Dataproducts
Typhoon 8. This is a PS level 2 printer, for which I use the generic PS level
2 PPD from CUPS. A Brother MFC9120CN, which is PS 3, also produces correct

--- Comment #15 from Rodney Peters ---
The problem from LibreOfice is both printer specific and openSUSE release
specific.
I print via Leap42 on a HP microserver, effectively my file & print server. In
the case of this bug, that eliminates possibly different queue settings from
different OS on the workstations.
print. The troublesome printer is a Brother MFC-J6910DW inkjet. From the same
Leap42 installation, nothing I do gets landscape printing on it from
LibreOffice. I've tried Device in LibreOffice print dialog -> PS 3 & PS 2,
with no difference.
Yet Tumbleweed 64, on the same workstation, printing to the same queue on the
server, gets correct landscape print on the MFCJ6910DW from the same release of
LibreOffice 5.0.4.2-4.1, with Device set as PS 3. I'm aware that later, stable
releases are available for both environments, but I am keeping them identical
in an effort to nail this bug. This bug has reappeared periodically ever since
CUPS switched to PDF. Brother driver package is unchanged since 2012 (& does
not support PDF as a print mode).
Tumbleweed does use later releases of CUPS & CUPS-filters.
Actual printout has changed between LO 5.0.2 & 5.0.4. Former produced a shrunk
print in centre of portrait page, with right hand side truncated. Latter
produces print of correct scale, at bottom of portrait page, with greater
truncation.
It also appears to be a case of what the printer/CUPS report to LibreOffice.
Starting with a fresh document, if the Paper tab in LibreOffice print dialog
shows (greyed-out) A4 & Portrait, then a correct print is obtained. Using a
pre-cursor operation File -> Print Settings will set those two parameters as
above, but a faulty print then results from any subsequent use of print dialog.
I can work through the earlier references on SDB - any pointers where to start
?
