Column width changed when spreadsheet of type xls is printed to a non-default
printer that is not the same type as the default (e.g. default of matrix,
printer used laserjet). This happens in the background and is only seen if the
file is saved and re-open.
Environment:
Hardware : Windows XP pc
Printer Epson EPL6100L (LaserJet)
HP Laserjet 1200 (Laserjet)
Wincor Nixdorf teller printer (Matrix) *** default printer
Epson LQ matrix printer
Software : Openoffice. No Microsoft office is installed.
Detail steps
Using only OO calc
- create a spreadsheet with one column width 2"
- save as file aa type xls.
- open spreadsheet aa.xls and check column (it will show 2")
- print spreadsheet using default printer (Wincor matrix printer)
- check column width (it will show 2")
- save as aa1.xls
- open spreadsheet aa1.xls, column will show 2" width
- send for printing to Epson laserjet
- check column and it will show 2"
- save as aa2.xls
- check column width and it will show 2"
- close aa2.xls
- open aa2.xls and column width will NOT show 2".
This happens on version 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.2 and Staroffice 8.
The if the spreadsheet is saved as native ods this behavior is not displayed.
This happens as long the default printer and the output printer is different
(laserjet to matrix or matrix to laserjet).
Switching between same type of printer (laserjet or matrix) does not have this
behavior.
Transporting the file from one PC having default matrix to another PC having
default Laserjet also changes the column width.
I use a new file name for testing. I cannot save a file without changes to the
same file name. It will happen if you save it after changing and printing to a
non-default printer of a different type.
Protecting/locking/passwording everything does not help. It will still happen as
long as the file is printed to another type of printer and saved.
I do not have any other type to try.
