Bug ID: 154737
Summary: Mac forces printing in landscape mode
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Different variants of this bug appear to go back to 2015 or so. When you have a
letter-sized document, LibreOffice *insists* on printing it in landscape
orientation, and there's no apparent way to alter it. However, I can't find any
info on it in current versions. (I did find a lot of old, snarky threads. This
issue has been marked closed several times.)
Yes, some workarounds work. I can set the document width to be 8.49", and it
behaves correctly. I can output to PDF and print the PDF, and that works.
However I'm trying to teach my techphobic mother-in-law to use this program,
and these workarounds really are a bridge too far.
I hope that someone is able to fix this bug soon. It appears to have been in
LibreOffice for nearly a decade.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a letter-sized portrait document on a Mac.
2.Try to print it.
3.
Actual Results:
It forces you to print in landscape, with a giant margin on the right, and
cutting it off on the bottom.
Expected Results:
Printing should match the orientation of the document.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
We upgraded from LO 7.2.2 to 7.5.2, in an effort to fix this. There was no
difference.
