Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Custom page size missing from print dialog
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Component: Printing and PDF export

LibreOffice Print Dialog box
I cannot properly print to custom paper sizes from LibreOffice to my Xerox
6180DN. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and LibreOffice 4.1.6.2, but was previously
using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 which had the same problem.
There is no "Custom" paper size available in the LibreOffice "Print" dialog
box. LibreOffice picks a paper size closest to the actual document page size,
and uses that. This results in improper placement of the content on the page
whent printed.
In the fist attached screenshot, I am trying to print a document on a custom
page size of 5.0 in x 8.0 in. As you can see, LibreOffice has selected A5.
If I click the "Properties" button, and the "Paper Size" drop down, the paper
sizes available are:
A4 (210 x 297mm)
A5 (148 x 210mm)
B5 (185 x 257mm)
Letter (8.5 x 11")
US Folio 8.5 x 13"
Legal (8.5 x 14")
Executive (7.25 x 10.5")
The work around is to export to PDF and print with the Document viewer. In the
print dialog for this application (and other applications like gedit), the
"Paper Size" drop down has "Custom" and "Manage Custom Sizes..." choices, where
custom paper sizes can be defined, and the document properly printed.
This bug has been widely reported in various forums and for various printer
models for several years now. Why can't LibreOffice provide the "Custom" page
size options in the "Print" dialog, like other applications can? Exporting to
PDF in order to print is tedious, and should be unnecessary.
Thanks!
