http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=954884 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=954884#c34 --- Comment #34 from Rodney Peters --- There has been no additional comment on this thread since March 2016, during which period many progressive updates have occurred. I retested the current configuration and it appears that the bug has been resolved. I have not been testing intermediate releases and can't pinpoint where the fix might have occurred I was still using Leap 42.1 on the test PC, but with LibreOffice & CUPS on progressive updates from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories Printing & LibreOffice, taking these up to CUPS 2.1.3 & Build ID: 20m0(Build:3)respectively. I have changed only one setting in LibreOffice Tools-> Options -> General -> Print to make "PDF as standard print job format". I verified that it applied in the per-job print dialog from Properties button and Device tab, where is shows as "Printer Language type: Automatic PDF" I've concentrated on the spreadsheet output, that being my main use of landscape prints. Prints to 3 real printers all produce the desired landscape print, on paper: Brother MFC-9120CN (BR-script3) Brother MFC-J6910DW (page description language unknown) Dataproducts Typhoon 8 (Postscript 2 device, using CUPS generic PS Level 2 PPD) In an effort to establish what might have changed, I disabled the CUPS queue for the Brother MFC-J6910DW. Test prints from Writer, Calc & Draw all produce a PDF file. rod@jw870:/tmp> file /tmp/print-job-odtdata-20170103.save /tmp/print-job-odtdata-20170103.save: PDF document, version 1.4 rod@jw870:/tmp> file /tmp/print-job-odsmfcj6910dwlpr-3.0.0-1.i386.rpmdata-20170103.save /tmp/print-job-odsdata-20170103.save: PDF document, version 1.4 rod@jw870:/tmp> file /tmp/print-job-odgdata-20170103.save /tmp/print-job-odgdata-20170103.save: PDF document, version 1.4 With each file, Ghostscript displays multiple copies of the image in a single page file, each copy being truncated at approximately 2/3 of true width of landscape page with the text displayed in portrait mode - ie the same faulty output as previously rod@jw870:/tmp> gs -r50 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA /tmp/print-job-odtdata-20170103.save GPL Ghostscript 9.20 (2016-09-26) Copyright (C) 2016 Artifex Software, Inc.

GS> produces an X11 window displaying the complete text of the landscape page, oriented in portrait mode. My interpretation of https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Landscape_Printing is that this is correct - the application is doing the rotation for landscape mode ? rod@jw870:/tmp> gs -r50 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=nullpage /tmp/testq.odsout-20170103.ps GPL Ghostscript 9.20 (2016-09-26) Copyright (C) 2016 Artifex Software, In c.

The PPD & filter come in an RPM from Brother web site - http://support.brother.com. mfcj6910dwcupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm mfcj6910dwlpr-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm The RPM have not changed since 201211 and are the same as used for tests in 201603 I then repeated the tests to another real printer - the Brother product, MFC 9120CN, that has a Postscript interpreter. "print-job-data.save" files, produced as above, also report as file type PDF and give similar, truncated output with gs -r50 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA As this printer has three readily available PPD files I tried all. All gave similar results with Ghostscript tests. Results to real paper were: Brother's PPD from http://support.brother.com - correct hard copy (what appears to be a copy of the latter in /usr/share/cups/model/openPrinting/Brother) - locks up the printer foomatic PPD from /usr/share/cups/model/openPrinting/Brother- correct hard copy Which raises two questions 1 can this bug be closed ? 2 is "gs -r50 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA" still a reliable tool for troubleshooting ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
