[opensuse] How to set paper size in both Libre Office page format and printer?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have envelopes of 174 mm horizontal by 120 mm high. It is approxximately size DIN B6 (175*125) I want to set the exact same size in both page format and printer settings. If they are not the same, it does not print right (it prints out of the paper this moment). So, in page format I can set the exact size, no problem: width 17.4 cm height: 12.0 landscaope tray 1 (manual) Now, go to File printer setup. Options: change paper tray from printer settings to [ ] Properties: Tray 1 (manual) landscape Size: There is no B6, and no manual settings. On File/Print menu, Options, I unset: [ ] Use only paper size from printer preferences. Still, it says it is going to use #8 Monarch, 191mm wide by 98 mm heigh. The text overflows a bit to the left, out of the envelope (I'm testing with paper cut to size with scissors instead). Still, the printer dialog doesn't show the page size I wrote in Page/Format, nor the one in printer/properties. How can I create a manual page size for the printer dialog? Not in CUPS: http://localhost:631/printers/ I think that both page format and printer dialog have to match sizes for printing to work right. I managed to print by moving the text box and testing a few times... - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

dunno if this will solve your problem :-( export to pdf and print the pdf. often problem come from printer minimum margin. A printer can't print on some surface around the paper, and software manage this in various manner... jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, the problem is setting a custom page size first. Once I do that, it can tell me my size is too small if it wishes. The first problem, the one that bothers me now, is setting a custom size. It has predefined and I used 4*6 (101,6 * 152,4), which is smaller than mine... I did manage to print the envelope, telling lies and adjusting the text position till it did it right. Export to PDF, open in evince and print works perfectly, though. 2nd cog wheel, print. paper handling tab: [ ] Auto rotate and center [X] select page size using document page size page setup: paper type: unspecified, better use "envelope". paper source: tray 1 manual (every single time I print, it resets to "auto" paper size: has C5, I hope it ignores it. Orientation: *portrait* (because papers enter the rolls in portrait orientation) There is custom size paper here, though. I can create several custom sizes, but I can not name them. Oh, I managed to rename the size to "hallmark". But now, it does not print. Goes through the motions, the paper is white (it does print on A4). Must be printing "outside" of the paper limits. Ok, got it. I had to use: [ ] select page size using document page size Custom size, width 120, height 174 (which is reversed) tray 1 *landscape* I try again reversing the size in the paper definition as before, and prints "blank". Even if I put a full A4, it prints nothing. Custom size, height 174, width 120 (which is reversed) tray 1 *portrait* And every single time I print I have to change tray and paper size to "Hallmark". Why doesn't it stick, at least for the current document? Confirm: [ ] select page size using document page size Custom size, width 120, height 174 (which is reversed) tray 1 *landscape* This time I have to concur with Per: Printing to envelopes is broken on openSUSE Leap. This is hell. I had to test printing a dozen times till I got the correct placing and orientation of the print on the "envelope". Good thing I was using paper cut to size, not real envelopes. For the kick of it, I opened the PDF again in Foxit. It says: Document: 6.85*4.72 inches (correct) paper: 8.26*11.69 inches and shows a photo of the result in portrait orientation, with the address inside in vertical. I do not see how to change the paper size to that of the document. Printer setup has a dialog for paper size, but none is the exact one, and there is no custom setting. Same problem as LO. It is possible I can print the PDF directly using lpr? Something like Foxit says it uses, to start with: "lpr -P cp1510n_ps -o PageSize=4x6 -o sides=one-sided -o Resolution=1200dpi" but corrected. First try: lpr -P cp1510n_ps -o PageSize=Custom.493x340 \ -o InputSlot=Tray1_Man env.pdf (size is in points) prints outside of paper, even if I put an A4 piece of paper. More or less: A4: ***************************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From: name ...... * * * * * ***************************************************************** envelope: ***************************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From: name ...... * ***************************************************************** The orientation of the text is correct. What if I exchange x·y? Wow, bingo! lpr -P cp1510n_ps -o PageSize=Custom.340x493 \ -o InputSlot=Tray1_Man envelope.pdf Perfect print! Repeatable at a click!

and you created a bug report for libreoffice on Leap <some version> to hopefully correct this? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, I'm asking first. Maybe I have not seen the truth. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

And "units" is the one of those programs! And you don't have to remember the units, just search in /usr/share/units/definitions.units. You can also add your own, I e.g. have these (which are funnily not available by default): ==== /usr/share/units/dnh_defs.units ==== lighthour c hour lightday c day lightmonth lightyear/12 #[..] ==== These are the predefined ones: ==== light c lightyear c julianyear # The 365.25 day year is specified in ly lightyear # NIST publication 811 lightsecond c s lightminute c min ==== And you can combine units in every which way that makes sense, e.g. give speed in attoparsecs/microfortnight. Decide for yourself if 327 apc/µfortnight. Or give your weight in eV/c^2... ;) Lotsa fun to be had. HTH, -dnh -- Every time I hear someone whining about vi or emacs, I give them ed to play with.
