Bug ID: 158249
Summary: Document with one landscape page doesn't switch back
to portrait when PRINTING.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Had a report with one landscape page. Looks OK in print preview but when
printed all sheets after the landscape page are printed in landscape. Printing
to Microsoft PDF gives a document which has the same problem, but Export
As:Export Directly as PDF gives a document which will print correctly. So the
Libre Office PDF exporter is likely sending correct printing information but
not the printing routine.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Writer with blank document.
2. Type "Portrait."
3. Insert:More Breaks:Manual Break:Page Break (Page Style Landscape).
4. Type "Landscape."
5. Insert:More Breaks:Manual Break:Page Break (Page Style Default Page Style).
6. Type "Portrait."
7. Print. The third page will print in landscape mode (and any later pages).
Actual Results:
All pages in a long report after the single landscape page print in landscape.
Expected Results:
As print preview shows, after printing the landscape page it should switch back
to portrait printing. I recall this used to work in Open Office many years ago.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
The only workaround I could find is Export As:Export Directly as PDF. This PDF
will print correctly but not one made by Print:Microsoft PDF. Entering breaks
by creating the page first and using right-click Paragraph as described here
has the same issue:

I only had one printer to test this on, Xerox-C8135 PS.
