Bug ID: 173438
Summary: label printer print dialog number of copies is doubled
at print time
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LibreOffice causes the label printer to print double the amount of copies of a
label than entered in the print dialog, starting from 2. One label will only be
printed once.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a label
2. open print dialog and select a number of copies above 1
3. start printing
Actual Results:
The label printer prints double the number of copies entered in the print
dialog
Expected Results:
The label printer prints just the number of copies entered in the print dialog
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I use a brother QL-570 label printer (for many years now) and encounter for a
while (since the orientation issue has been solved) this phenomenon. When I
want to print multiple labels, I enter the amount of copies I want to get
printed (logically). Then I initiate the print process, and LO starts to print,
but doesn't stop when the entered number is reached, but goes on. So far, I
have had 8 or more labels to print at a time, hence I stopped the print process
via the print cue, which left me with 5 or 6 too many labels (which, BTW, is on
the long run quite expensive and not at all environment friendly). I didn't
know what exactly happened.
Today I had another chance to print labels and tried first a single label,
which worked fine, printing stopped after the one print. After that, I entered
two copies to be printed, and lo and behold, it printed four. Since I needed 9
labels, I courageously attempted another 2 prints at a row, and luckily, it
again spat out 4 copies, which gave me the total of 9 which I needed. I can
hence confirm that this problem can be reproduced, at least on my machine.
