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

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 ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954884 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954884#c31 --- Comment #31 from Rodney Peters --- I installed LibreOffice 5.1.1.3 (latest stable) from a LibreOffice mirror on Leap42.1 system that was up-to-date, plus has later CUPS & ghostscript from Printing repository. It behaves similarly to LibreOffice 5.0.4.2 from openSUSE. De-selecting the global "PDF as print job format" gives reliable printing of landscape documents. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
