Bug ID: 94343
Summary: UI: Move "Use only paper size from printer
preferences" to print properties dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Since LibreOffice 4.1-ish, the print properties dialog's paper size and
orientation fields have been ignored unless you first enable "Use only paper
size from printer preferences," which is hidden under the Options tab of the
main print dialog.
Starting in LibreOffice 5.0, the paper size and orientation fields are now
disabled (greyed out) and can not be set without first checking "Use only paper
size from printer preferences." This is a giant step in the right direction in
terms of making it obvious that these settings are not being used.
Unfortunately, it's still not clear to users what they need to change to be
able to use these settings. The option to enable these settings needs to be
adjacent to them.
There are currently a few bugs affected by "Use only paper size from printer
preferences" that make it extremely annoying/unintuitive.
bug 79077 - setting is forgotten immediately after printing and has no way of
setting global default
bug 94342 - page size/orientation fields aren't enabled when
brochure/multi-page page layouts selected.
At least having this setting in a logical place would go a long way towards
working around these bugs.
