20 years ago I used to use Word Perfect in Win 95, and it was easy to
print a booklet. I'm trying to achieve the same results in
LibreOffice Writer 7.3.7.2 in Xubuntu 22.04.
I have successfully managed to format the pages so that pages 1 and 4
print on one sheet, and 2 and 3 on another. My problem is that duplex
printing, which usually works fine, is not working. I'm getting
separate sheets.
The paper is defined as 11.0 wide by 8.5 high. The pages are
formatted as 5.5 wide by 8.5 high, so the end result should be one
piece of paper that, when folded, reads like a booklet with page 1 on
the front, pages 2 and 3 in the middle, and page 4 on the back.
In the print dialog:
Under properties of my HP MFP 148dw
Duplex [On(Portrait)] and Paper tray [Automatic].
Range and Copies
All Pages
At the bottom there is a blue circle with a white dot in the middle
next to the word Brochure. Clicking on it does not produce a change.
I think the problem is the printer, but don't know what to do next.
What am I missing?
You could try to trick it by putting one sheet of paper in the printer
at a time, then manually reload it in the correct orientation to print
on the back.
That probably will work. That's the way I used to do it with my older
printer which didn't have a duplexer.
I agree this sounds like a printer problem. HP, so no surprise. NO CYAN!
I tried using my 20.04 machine, but same problem. I'll have to see if
there's some change I missed and if I can back out of it, or go past it.
