Re: [libreoffice-users] printer paper size question

2013-06-24 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


I do not know about that printer anymore.  It has been a while since I 
had a laser 4.  But, my HP 2300dn has 48 MG of memory and sometimes 
the graphics/document gives me and not enough memory type of error.  
Do you have the ability to add more memory?


You are printing envelopes, right?

Are you using the
Format  Page  Paper - Format  DL envelope

and then deal with it from there?

I would format the page to the envelope I wanted instead of doing it on 
the printer side of the process.


Also, there may be something in your profile that might be causing some 
issues with the printer.  This has happened to be from time to time with 
LO and the OOo before that.


I use Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE desktop environment.
printers - in use:  HP Laserjet 2300dn, HP inkjet 7000, Canon MG6220
printers on the shelf - Epson Artisan 810, several HP inkjets, plus 2 
DELL inkjets.

use to have HP 2600 color laser and a HP Laser 4 plus[?] but are dead now.
so I have a bit of experience with printers.

Printer paper is US Letter
Printer installed on Mageia 3 as US Letter
Printer in LibraOffice defaults to US Letter for full sheet
Printer in LibraOffice defaults to DL for envelope

Is this normal/expected behavior?  Would not we have expected a 
default envelope size more related to the paper size?


Navigation:
(after inserting an envelope in a text document)
File - Print - (select printer) - Properties - (Paper size reads: 
Env DL)


Work around (on a per job basis):
Change paper size - OK - OK - File - Save (or Save As)

Another work around ... build templates

Any help/hints/suggestions?
Thank you

Thank you for your reply.  I shall answer your question, but first to 
clarify the question:


This question is not about workarounds or the mismatch of user interface 
and locale settings, but rather:
Why, if LibreOffice knows the paper is US letter, does inserted envelope 
default to DL?  Wouldn't it be more reasonable to expect a match between 
paper and envelope size as the default?  Or is this not 
possible/reasonable?  By the way, I did not have this issue under Apache 
OOo under Mageia 2.


A second question, if I may:  What do each of the settings control (user 
interface, and locale)?


Answering your questions:

Memory: not an issue with LibreOffice ... sometime with websites and 
some PDF's ... Ran OK under Apache OpenOffice, too.

Memory: printer is maxed out.

Envelope: printing fine

Format  Page  Paper - Format  DL envelope?  No, I am doing it through 
File - Printer Settings
Doing it through Format gives a nice result, too, if one remembers to 
set it to landscape

And either method can be saved/applied to the document

Thanks again
Regards
Fred James
