Title:
Printing Landscape on Legal/Long Bond reverts to portrait size
Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I have been having this issue since Ubuntu 10.04, currently using
12.04. I have a custom program in Wine that should print landscape in
long bond/folio size. The program prints in landscape but whatever
paper I choose, it stops the size of portrait size paper. I first
thought it to be a problem of Wine, so I was coordinating the bug with
Wine forum/bug tracker
(http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=54091), and for a while I
thought it fixed. But when I upgraded to 12.04, the problem came
back.
On a hunch I tried Ubuntu LibreOffice and it printed it exactly the
same way, landscape and portrait size. Googling I saw a lot of people
having similar problems with LibreOffice, but I thought they are
focusing on LibreOffice as the culprit, the same way I was focusing on
Wine as the culprit. I did try other apps, like the PDF writer.
Googling further would reveal other users with their own apps having
the same output on Ubuntu, Suse, etc.
I saw that some are focusing on their app (ie. LibreOffice, PDF
Writer, Wine, etc) or the ppd file of their printer. I also upgraded
my ppd file for my HP printer, same result.
I have tried all the apps with printers from Canon (ip2770), HP
(Deskjet Ink Advantage), Epson (lpt - FX2175) and results are all the
same.
Therefore, there is only 1 common to all of these, and it is Cups. I
haven't seen anybody really focusing on problem to be cups, I was
thinking maybe some Cups programmer/developer might be able to check
this out. Why landscape printing disregards paper size and sticks to
portrait.
Thanks.
