------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Dec 4 23:30:20 +0000 2009 ------- This is probably a request-for-documentation, but documentation on the subject is lacking. First, "found in version" details: openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1, Thu Oct 22 20:13:41 UTC 2009 OpenOffice.org 3.1.1; OOO310m19 (Build:9420) [Probably impacts others; I only recently jumped the machine I do my envelope printing on to this package from an ancient 2.x.] Issue: Insert -> Envelope -> Printer -> Setup options do not appear to be persistent, or at least are not predictably persistent, even within a document or template. This adds a number of extra steps to envelope printing. Use case / Steps to reproduce: Combine this version of OO.o 3.1.1 with a HP LaserJet 3030 driven by recent HPLIP/hpijs packages. #10 Envelopes will print correctly based on the centered positioning option in [Envelope -> Printer] _if_ the Envelope page type in [Envelope -> Printer -> Setup] is set to Envelope #10. By default, the Printer -> Setup field is set to "Letter." OO.o will detect this and attempt to format an envelope-sized frame onto something resembling appx. two-thirds of a "Letter"-sized page in landscape, but the printing stack presumably tries to center this by default (probably desirable for other programs with odd-sized output) because the bottom ~third of the page is not present, causing "none of these choices work" alignment issues. Desired behavior/resolution: Envelope page-size setup preferences should persist per printer, and/or the [Insert -> Envelope -> Help] and [Insert -> Envelope -> Printer -> Help] should document where this setting is supposed to be stored. Adding an "Envelope" tab in [File -> Printer Settings] to set the default envelope page definition for the Envelope "wizard" would also appear to make sense. Related observations: Saving a properly-formatted Envelope as a document (and presumably as a template) preserves the page size definition, so this is only a problem with the "wizard" / ephemeral Insert Envelope feature. However, Insert -> Envelope -> New Document called to create an ephemeral envelope from a document/template that *does* have an Envelope page style set does not inherit that Envelope page style... or at least, interprets it from Envelope #10 back into the "User" page size definition, the ~2/3s-of-a-Letter-page as described above. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
