Bug ID: 103703
Summary: When printing multiple duplex copies of a document
with odd pages, the first page is printed on the back
of the last page of the first copy
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I print a document that has an odd page number, i.e. 3,5,7,9 etc., and
want to do multiple copies at once, the printer receives all pages in a row,
which results in the first page of the second, fourth, sixth etc. copy being
printed on the last page of the previous copy, which actually should be left
empty. I try to visualize it with a 5 page document:
1|2 3|4 5|1 2|3 4|5 1|2 3|4 5|1 2|3 4|5
It should be:
1|2 3|4 5|- 1|2 3|4 5|- 1|2 3|4 5|- 1|2 3|4 5|-
I hope this shows what I mean. I have done this kind of printing in OpenOffice
without any such problems.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with an odd number of pages
2. Choose the printer's duplex print option
3. Print multiple copies
Actual Results:
Document is printed like this:
1|2 3|4 5|1 2|3 4|5 1|2 3|4 5|1 2|3 4|5
Expected Results:
Document should be printed like this:
1|2 3|4 5|- 1|2 3|4 5|- 1|2 3|4 5|- 1|2 3|4 5|-
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I guess this has to do with the option "Print automatically inserted empty
pages" within the print dialogue. This option had been always turned on in
earlier versions, but has now been disabled by default. I found it awkward when
printing form letters with only one page, because then it inserted always
automatically an empty page, and maybe because of that this option has been
disabled by default.
However, when printing multiple copies of a document, this option shouldn't
affect the way how LibreOffice prints the document. It's obvious that you want
multiple copies of the same document, and not a mixup of pages.
