--- Comment #8 from Hadmut Danisch <[email protected]> --- Setting the page format to portrait, i.e. making the width 29mm and the height 90mm, and rotating the label by 270° works, it then prints correctly. But: Editing is a nightmare then. As soon as you select the text label to edit it (because wanting to print a different label), libreOffice shows the text Label temporarily in horizontal, i.e. readable orientation, thus making it difficult to estimate whether the text fits onto the label. What I was trying: Using the attached label file in landscape orientation in order to be able to properly edit the label, and then print. I tried all the orientations in LibreOffice's print dialog, using "Page Layout Orientation", trying all settings. The results were different, sometimes scaling the text label differently to either print it in landscape orientiation in original size (where only the first two letters fit on the sticker), or scaling it down to fit on the paper width of 29mm, thus printing the complete text but in microscopic size, but whatever I do, it never rotates the label to fit the paper size (i.e. the sticker). As I said, it works without problems with other programs like Inkscape, and I saw somewhere a hint in Linux' printer settings that the driver is able and set to automatically rotate the printed image (as it does for Inkscape). So the printer driver (automatically installed by Linux once the printer is present and alive in the network) is able to automatically rotate a landscape designd label to a portrait orientation, but somehow LibreOffice prevents this to work. It looks as if LibreOffice always enforces to print the document exactly in the orientation as it appears on the screen, and always prevents rotating. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
