Most probably your problem is the same as bug 1040037. Can you do the following:
Follow the instructions of the sections "CUPS error_log" and "Capturing print job data" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems for the failing case (output file format must be PDF). Also attach the original LibreOffice file/the PDF file you printed from evince and the PDF file generated when you use "Export to PDF" in LibreOffice. It would also be great if you do the same on Ubuntu 12.04 (where it does not fail). Another interesting test would be to take the captured print output of 12.04 and print it with lpr file.pdf on 12.10 and vice versa. Does this work? ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => cups-filters (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: cups-filters (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: cups-filters (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070510 Title: landscape will print as portrait Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, 'landscape' pages print as 'portrait', that is truncated. The same goes for printing from libreoffice writer, as well as from evince, and even if print preview is correct. This can be circumvented in writer by setting printing language type under printer properties to PostScript (level from driver). cups: Installed: 1.6.1-0ubuntu11 Candidate: 1.6.1-0ubuntu11 Version table: *** 1.6.1-0ubuntu11 0 500 http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status The printer is HP Laserjet 5L.
