Alex,

Apologies if this has already been answered as I only get the daily digest.

In Canada our standard is letter (8.5" x 11"), legal (8.5" x 14"), tabloid (11" x 17"). Because we use the metric system, PCs usually default to cm. This is totally useless since our paper standards are in inches.

I haven't had the problem with HP printers but I print to PDF more than direct to the printer. PDF production is good. Perhaps the people with this issue should print to pdf first and then open in Preview and print the PDF. I've done this in the past when Acrobat did silly things.

Until today I was using LO 5.3.4. Today I upgraded to 5.4 so we'll see if this changes.

Hi Al,


I have reported this as a recurrent bug - Bug 86838
When attempting to print a Writer portrait document, it prints rotated 90
degrees (= landscape).

This occurs with 5.3.5.X and 5.4.0.x

Does anyone have a similar problem?

For those users who don't care to read through the whole shebang of
comments on that bug report :

- it appears to affect only Mac OSX;

- it appears to affect only those users for whom the locale-based
default page setting is Letter - in other words, mainly US and Canadian
(not sure what the default page size is in Canada?) based users;

- it mainly seems to show up with Brother and HP printers.


Reports from users corresponding to the above much appreciated.


Alex
