Bug ID: 152272
Summary: wrong properties dialog for print to file / paper size
limited on print to file
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
>From time to time I need to export 2 pages in format A4 to one A3 landscape
page. On the latest official version of LibreOffice on Kubuntu 20.04 I was able
to select A3 from the properties settings of the "print to file"-printer.
On 7.3.7.2 on Kubuntu 22.04 this does not work respectively only with a
workaround. When I click on die properties button when the "print to
file"-printer is selected, the properties of the physical standard printer are
shown. As this one only can print to A4, I cannot select A3 anymore.
For the "print to file"-printer I would expect all possibilities of this
virtual printer in the properties dialog - or none, but the possibility so
select all possibilities of the "print to file"-printer below in the page
layout section of the printing dialog. This also is not the case as long as the
physical standard printer does not support printing to A3.
Workaround: I installed a printer which can print to A3. After making it
standard an restarting LibreOffice the properties settings of the "print to
file"-printer show this printer where I can select A3. As my physical printer
normally should be the standard printer I have to switch back the same way.
(The cups-ppd virtual printer creates big bitmap PDF files which I don't want.)
=> BUG: Wrong settings dialog after clicking on the properties button for the
"print to file"-printer.
I hope I translated the German terms correctly:
Eigenschaften <=> properties
Einstellungen <=> settings
In Datei drucken ... <=> print to file ...
Perhaps this is a duplicate, but then I used the wrong search terms.
Thanks in advance!
