--- Comment #37 from rpr  ---
I've been also coping with this bug since 2012 - first noticed in LibO 3.5.4.2
on Ubuntu 12.04. LibO 7.2.3.2 (on Ubuntu 20.04) is the latest version I work
with and it also has the bug.

I regularly need custom page sizes when printing from Writer to envelopes as
the printer driver on Ubuntu provides just a couple of envelope sizes.

An ugly workaround for this problem which I used so far is to edit the PPD file
for the connected printer (located in /etc/cups/ppd/) and add definitions for
the page sizes I need most. For example, here are the lines for ISO B6 (125x176
mm) and Italian envelope (23x11 cm):

(The sizes must be given in the 1/72 inch, e.g.: 312 * 1/72 = 4.33 in = 11 cm)

...
*cupsUIConstraints PageSizeVsDuplex: " *Duplex *PageSize EnvISOB6"
*cupsUIConstraints PageSizeVsDuplex: " *Duplex *PageSize EnvItalian"
...
*cupsUIConstraints PageSizeVsInputSlot: " *InputSlot Tray2 *PageSize EnvISOB6"
*cupsUIConstraints PageSizeVsInputSlot: " *InputSlot Tray2 *PageSize
EnvItalian"
...
*cupsUIConstraints PageSizeVsInputSlot: " *InputSlot Tray3 *PageSize EnvISOB6"
*cupsUIConstraints PageSizeVsInputSlot: " *InputSlot Tray3 *PageSize
EnvItalian"
...
*PageSize EnvISOB6/Envelope B6: "<>setpagedevice"
*PageSize EnvItalian/Envelope 23x11cm: "<>setpagedevice"
...
*PageRegion EnvISOB6/Envelope B6: "<>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion EnvItalian/Envelope 23x11cm: "<>setpagedevice"
...
*ImageableArea EnvISOB6/Envelope B6: "12 12 342 487"
*ImageableArea EnvItalian/Envelope 23x11cm: "12 12 300 640"
...
*PaperDimension EnvISOB6/Envelope B6: "354 499"
*PaperDimension EnvItalian/Envelope 23x11cm: "312 652"
...
*de.PageSize EnvISOB6/Umschlag ISO B6: ""
*de.PageSize EnvItalian/Umschlag 23x11cm: ""
...
*es.PageSize EnvISOB6/Sobre ISO B6: ""
*es.PageSize EnvItalian/Sobre 23x11cm: ""
...
*fr.PageSize EnvISOB6/Enveloppe ISO B6: ""
*fr.PageSize EnvItalian/Enveloppe 23x11cm: ""
...
*it.PageSize EnvISOB6/Busta ISO B6: ""
*it.PageSize EnvItalian/Busta 23x11cm: ""
...
*pt.PageSize EnvISOB6/Envelope B6: ""
*pt.PageSize EnvItalian/Envelope 23x11cm: ""

After changing the PPD file you should test it with the following command:
cupstestppd /etc/cups/ppd/file_name.ppd

Build ID: 1:6.4.6-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

1. I can use "File" > "New" > "Labels" to create a new label.
2. In "Format" > "Page Style" the values under "Paper Format" change properly
to fit my label type.
3. But afterwards, I *cannot* print the labels, because "File" > "Print..."
does not let me specify custom paper size values anywhere in the dialogue.

Trying to still keep this bug report alive.

I'm trying to print on 3x5 cards, using LibreOffice Write 6.3.2.2. I've defined
the page size in the Format menu to be 3x5, but there's no 3x5 in the print
dialog box to choose. It prints on 8-1/2x11 paper.

Projects like Chrome seem to address this problem by having a "Print using
System Dialog (Ctrl-Shift-P)..." choice under "More settings" in their custom
print dialog.

Thanks for looking into fixing this issue.

-Kevin

The "Use only paper size from printer preferences" checkbox seems to have
disappeared from the new print dialogue form in recent versions of LO.

I have also uploaded a document with 2 pages using different dimensions, which
causes some related weird behavior.
Switching between the pages in the print dialogue somehow mixes the page
dimensions up in the v6.3 print dialogue / preview.

Furthermore, the width and height of landscape-oriented pages are reported to
the printer driver in portrait-oriented mode. LO ignores the fact that most
printers print landscape-oriented pages in 90 degrees rotation compared to
portrait-orientation.

Okay, sounds reasonable let's fix the bug => User-define page settings have to
appear in the print dialog.

(Priority is up for QA but I wouldn't raise given that we have many places with
this small paper cuts. And LibreOffice is Open Source so the priority is not
necessarily resulting in coding effort unless a developer becomes interested in
the topic.)

--- Comment #32 from Tylla  ---
@Heiko: you can never know what the "average printer" for the "average user"
means. Maybe s/he is trying to print some custom labels (where 2"x2" can be
perfectly valid), or maybe s/he has got some insane custom-sized paper which is
only a few mm smaller than the well known A4 but which is really hard to
position if it is printed as A4.
And maybe the PDF printing workaround doesn't work either because it has to be
printed as a brochure which the "Export as PDF..." function doesn't support.
(yes, this is my current problem)

@Cor: lots of printers allow defining custom page sizes on its configuration
pages, some drivers even allow this from client side.

The point is that it is OK to use a custom print dialog on such OS's where this
adds or brings back some functionality, but if this hides some really useful
functionality then it should be considered a bug. Even more if it is an OOo
legacy.

So please accept this as a bug, and try to give some priority to it.

PS: I'm using LO v5.2.7.2 on Debian

You can define a page size of 2x2" but the average printer is likely not
capable of this paper size. I guess you can pick only those sizes that your
printer reports. Daniel/Bubli, please proof me wrong.

My version is

Version: 6.2.2.2
Build ID: 1:6.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1

which is not that far behind the latest release of 6.2.3, but still newer than
the LTS version of 6.1.5.

Both my printers allow custom page size, and custom page sizes work fine with
other Ubuntu applications (such as the FireFox screenshot I showed), and with
Microsoft Office running both in both Windows and on Ubuntu via Wine.

I look forward to this issue being finally addressed.

Nor is there an option "actual user defined size".
So yes, this definitely is a limitation. On the other hand, the printer (any
way mine) does not offer the option to set a free size either..
Set to enhancement. Is here from OOo times.

Maybe UX-advice has an suggestion for a solution?

--- Comment #25 from huber.jos...@tx.rr.com ---
Steps:

1. Open a new document
2. Go to Format>Page and set the page size to a custom page size, which is
something other than page sizes known by the printer.
3. File>Print... to make the Print dialog appear.  Writer picks the closest
page size known by the printer.  There is no place to enter a custom page size.
 The page size is greyed out and cannot be changed.  Please see the attached
screenshots. L1-L4.png

This is the same for all printers, and this behavior has been the same since
this bug was reported 5 years ago.  

See the screenshot from FireFox.  If you need a custom paper size, it is easy
to do. Please see FF1.png.

That is sad. Since there is a new print dialog now, can you please describe the

--- Comment #17 from QA Administrators  ---
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

I continue to be amazed that new versions of LibreOffice continue to come out,
but this issue, which affects many users, remains unresolved.

I ended up obtaining a version of Microsoft Office that is well-supported by
Wine, and I pretty much use that for everything but trivial tasks.

It is issues like this that keep LibreOffice mired as a second-rate office
suite.  How hard could it possibly be to add an option to use the system print
dialog (like most every other Linux app has)?

--- Comment #15 from Matthias Urlichs  ---
Oh, it gets worse. I have a label printer. The OS page setup / print dialogs
(Linux Gnome) display the available label sizes (from the remote printer's PPD,
I presume). LO, on the other hand, only shows its standard paper sizes even
when I select this printer in File / Printer Settings… . It's simply not
reasonable to force the user to manually enter custom page sizes or workaround
the problem via PDFs, when the OS affords reasonable page sizes to any program
that cares to ask.

Using the OS page setup and print dialog boxes is not a "stopgap measure". It's
the only sane way to handle printing. The times where the OS dialog was so
unuseable and/or inadequate that you had no choice but invent your own are
gone.

As it is now, my printer is unuseable with LO. :-(

This bug is also a problem on MacOS version of LibreOffice. Not being able to
choose a paper size or orientation is a real problem. Perhaps LibreOffice could
switch to using the OS print dialog box as a temporary solution to this issue.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

Click "Use only paper size from printer preferences" checkbox on the File >
Print .. Options tab.

See
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61186
and
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1#Other

So I think closing as duplicate of 67576 is appropriate?

(Note: discussion on improving the position of that option is ongoing)

This solution doesn't solve the problem.  LibreOffice ignores whatever paper
size is set in the printer preferences and picks whatever size it thinks the
document should use.

 There is no Custom paper size available in the LibreOffice Print dialog
 box. LibreOffice picks a paper size closest to the actual document page
 size, and uses that. This results in improper placement of the content on
 the page whent printed.

Rethinking... this should be handled by the printer driver, no :) ?!
So the Properties button on your screen print.
IMO this is a NOTOURBUG.

Pls correct me if I'm wrong!
Cheers,
Cor

--- Comment #6 from huber.jos...@tx.rr.com ---
As mentioned in the description, this problem only occurs in LibreOffice.  LO
uses some kind of customized print dialog (at least it does in Ubuntu 12.04
LTS), and this customized print dialog does not present the opportunity to set
up a custom page size.  Somehow, the customized LO print dialog is missing the
option.  

Applications that use the standard system print dialog (like FireFox,
Thunderbird, gnuCash, etc.) are all able to set up a custom paper size, because
the the Paper Size drop down on the Page Setup tab contains a Manage
custom sizes... choice.  This choice is nowhere to be found in the customized
LO print dialog; at least I can't find it.

Chrome also uses a customized print dialog, which only provides a small subset
of the printer driver options.  But Chrome also has an option to use the system
print dialog, in which one can access all the features of the printer driver. 
Is there an option to force LO to use the system print dialog?

I have several custom paper sizes set up through the system print dialog. 
Other applications see those custom paper sizes.  LO does not.  Therefore, LO
must not be reading the available printer driver options and settings properly
from the system.  You are correct in stating that the print driver should
handle custom paper size, and it does for applications that use the system
print dialog.  Unfortunately, the LO custom print dialog is missing this
feature. 

IMO, this is definitely a LO bug (after all, it only occurs in LO!), and it is
not appropriate to change the status to RESOLVED NOTOURBUG, at least not for
the reason you stated.

Hi Huber,

There has been some work done on this issue. 
From the top of my head, I don't know in which version it landed, nor all
details, but it will be definitely later then 4.1.x 
Maybe you can try 4.2.x or 4.3.0.alpha installed parallel?

Cor Nouws,

As you suggested, I installed 4.3.0.0alpha1 in parallel, but unfortunately, the
behavior is exactly the same as the previous version.  The page size in the
Print dialog automatically picks a close, but wrong, page size, and there are
no custom page size options in the Print-Properties-Paper size drop down.

Thanks!

Updating version - our version field is the oldest verified version not the
latest. We use comments to say that it still exists on a later version
