Hi Uwe,

I used MS Office all the time and had no problems with brochure (booklet)
printing on my Canon resp. Brother Printers.
Since I changed completely to MAC (OS X 10.9) I use OpenOffice. Unfortunately
it does not allow brochure (booklet) printing
on the same printers although OpenOffice says so in the printing window. I
tried it, the result, though, was a complete disorder.
What do you mean by "complete disorder". A document with pages
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 should be printed
First sheet, front: 8 1
First sheet, back: 2 7
Second sheet, front: 6 3
Second sheet, back: 4 5
How do you try to do it? On Windows, OpenOffice has the brochure
printing option in the printing dialog on tab "Page Layout". In that
case you do not use any brochure feature of the printers. Does that
exist on MAC too?
Or do you use a brochure feature of the printer?
Is it a duplex printer? Or do you need to turn the paper manually? In
the latter case, has the printer a wizard for it?
How do you organize your document? The correct way would be to write on
DIN A5 portrait page size and print on paper in DIN A4 landscape.
Examine the preview carefully. OpenOffice might not choose the correct
paper size automatically, but you have to set it explicitly in the
printer properties.
You should also try to print a brochure using Acrobat Reader (available
on Mac?)
Kind regards
Regina
