[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|NOTOURBUG |--- Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- As mentioned in the description, this problem only occurs in LibreOffice. LO uses some kind of customized print dialog (at least it does in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), and this customized print dialog does not present the opportunity to set up a custom page size. Somehow, the customized LO print dialog is missing the option. Applications that use the standard system print dialog (like FireFox, Thunderbird, gnuCash, etc.) are all able to set up a custom paper size, because the the "Paper Size" drop down on the "Page Setup" tab contains a "Manage custom sizes..." choice. This choice is nowhere to be found in the customized LO print dialog; at least I can't find it. Chrome also uses a customized print dialog, which only provides a small subset of the printer driver options. But Chrome also has an option to use the system print dialog, in which one can access all the features of the printer driver. Is there an option to force LO to use the system print dialog? I have several custom paper sizes set up through the system print dialog. Other applications see those custom paper sizes. LO does not. Therefore, LO must not be reading the available printer driver options and settings properly from the system. You are correct in stating that the print driver should handle custom paper size, and it does for applications that use the system print dialog. Unfortunately, the LO custom print dialog is missing this feature. IMO, this is definitely a LO bug (after all, it only occurs in LO!), and it is not appropriate to change the status to RESOLVED NOTOURBUG, at least not for the reason you stated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
