Bug ID: 90066
Summary: BUG: Cant print custom paper size with LibreOffice -
working with for Example M$ Office
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: imbeo...@sharklasers.com
Hello. I am not able to print out for example an Page size of 240mm (wide) x
180mm (long) with LibreOffice.
This bug seems to be also in Linux - thanks to testers in #libreoffice IRC.
How to reproduce this bug:
Make an new file in for example Writer. Change page Size to 24cm x 18cm. Then
you can already print it. You would see, that it changes the size automaticly
from the size that is been set to B5. B5 is longer and breaks the document when
printed (missing text on one side and white space on other).
When you configure the custom page size and then go back, the preview still
show B5. When you open again the page settings of the printer, some drivers
reimplement that what LibreOffice sets by itself: B5. So you set custom, press
ok. Open again and its been set back to B5 again.
The used printer is more modern. So i could do this test:
I entered in the printer settings on the printer monitor itself wrong page
settings. In this case it tells me what size is been send to the printer and
asks me if i want to put in correct paper or print anyway.
I have an simple docx file configured with 24cm x 18cm for testing M$ and
LibreOffice with same file. When i open it in Microsoft Word and print
it(making no custom print-settings), the printer screen ask me if i would like
to print custom page format.
Now i open same file with LibreOffice 4.4.1 .I say print (again not making any
custom print-settings). The printer screen ask me if i would like to print B5.
LibreOffice installation is clean with fresh LibreOffice userprofile.
As told, you already can see in the printing preview before sending the page to
the printer, that LibreOffice have set the Page to B5. So when testing you dont
have to print it out every time.
On Linux other user have tested it and get same problem.
In short: It seems impossible at the moment to send an page with size 24cm x
18cm with LibreOffice to the printer.
