Hi Alaric,

Can anyone help with a print problem. I cannot print landscape. The page
style says landscape, the printer settings menu says landscape, the
printer properties menu says landscape and the preview screen says
landscape but the printer says portrait and prints accordingly. This is
specific to libre. Landscape prints everywhere else including OpenOffice.

I cannot find anything in the setup which differs from Office. I use
Mandriva 10.2 (reluctantly) and have a Brother HL 2040 printer.


It is my guess that it is related to this issue:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32573
also see comment 9 there:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32573#c9

Could you please check?
Thanks,


It's not paper size as Brother recognizes lots of sizes.  It may be 
Mandriva related as I had a lot of trouble getting 10.1 and .2 to print 
at all.  Both auto install the printer but nothing happens.  I finally 
got the printer to work though I still don't know how.  It only works if 
you boot with the printer turned off, or by turning it off and on again.


	I don't think the remedies are within my competence and I will have to 
go back to Office.

Hi :)
This guide would let you install both side-by-side

I think it's good to have options

Hi,

Actually I have installed both and can use either.  Thanks for the info.

	I installed Libre in the hope that it might remove some of the more 
infuruating things in Office but it doesn't, it only adds a few more.
