It was located in cups-filters.

As far as I understand it what Till Kamppeter is talking about is the filter/pdftopdf/pdftopdf.cc source file in cups-filters. Because there is no cups-filters in a openSUSE version Till Kamppeter's description and comments in https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080 do not apply for openSUSE. As far as I understand it for openSUSE one has to set the printer language type is set to "Postscript" in LibreOffice. I close it again as UPSTREAM according to comment#1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757381 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757381#c9 --- Comment #9 from Johannes Meixner 2013-01-22 12:35:33 CET --- As far as I understand it - but I am not a LibreOffice expert - the way how to deal with the issue in openSUSE is to set the printer language to "PostScript" in LibreOffice when "landscape" printing does not work from LibreOffice. As far as I understand Till Kamppeter's initial description in https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that in a full printing workflow the bug often gets overlooked as some printer drivers (Like the CUPS Raster output device of Ghostscript) or built-in PostScript and PDF interpreters of printers rotate the PDFs by themselves. Other drivers, like the "ljet4" driver of Ghostscript do not rotate the page content to fit onto the page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- it means that in some/many/most? cases there is no "landscape" printing issue for LibreOffice because drivers (e.g. Gutenprint and HPCUPS use the CUPS Raster output device of Ghostscript) and some/many/most? PostScript printers do an automated "fit onto the page" so that LibreOffice's "landscape" PDF output is automatically converted to fit onto the page. What currently openSUSE uses when applications submit PDF to CUPS is /usr/bin/pdftops to convert PDF into PostScript because CUPS needs PostScript so that it can add the PostScript snippets from the PPD file to enable this or that option in a PostScript printer, compare https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=776080#c23 For more information you may have a look at some of the various printing issues that were related to /usr/bin/pdftops like bnc#774627 bnc#776080 bnc#795582 In the end I like to point out that for current openSUSE versions (including 12.3) it is /usr/bin/pdftops (that is provided by the poppler-tools RPM) which is used to convert PDF into PostScript so that the PostScript prints correctly - provided the PDF is correct. I am neither a PDF expert nor a LibreOffice expert but from my current point of view is seems the root cause could be even that LibreOffice's PDF output is somehow wrong. Rasoning: As far as I understand Till Kamppeter's initial description in https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080 it means that LibreOffice's PDF output requires an automated "fit onto the page" conversion to print correctly but I think applications should submit print job data that is already in the right orientation so that it prints correctly even without an automated "fit onto the page" conversion. Furthermore when it works with LibreOffice's PostScript printing output but not with LibreOffice's PDF printing output, it indicates that soemthing might be wrong with LibreOffice's PDF printing output - but again: I am neither a PDF expert nor a LibreOffice expert. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
