I would like to raise attention on the way gnome apps are printing my documents. However, I'm not sure what package I should file a bug against or even if this is faulty or intended behaviour, so let me try to explain it here:
I have this big, fat document like 300 pages long which I need to print. Now I've never liked to waste paper, so I set evince to print 2 pages for each paper sheet, and only odd pages. My plan was printing even pages on the other side of the sheets. This is how I expected the pages to be printed: -1,2 -5,6 -9,10 -13,14 Then I'd turn the pages and print the remaining pages on the other side: -1,2,3,4 -5,6,7,8 -9,10,11,12 -13,14,15,16 Did I make myself clear so far? Well, the actual result of printing only odd pages was this: -1,3 -5,7 -9,11 -13,15 So, had I printed even pages as well, these are the pages each actual sheet would have shown: -1,3,2,4 -5,7,6,8 -9,11,11,12 -13,15,14,16 Which is obviously wrong and makes the final printed document difficult as hell to read. So my proposal is, when setting printing options like even/odd or inverse order, could gnome base the final result on the actual sheets instead of the document pages? _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
