[libreoffice-users] setting paper size

2013-01-31 Thread edo1
I'm using  LO on Vistax64, printing on a Canon IP2600.

I can't change the paper size successfully when printing from LO. When
trying to print on half-sheets (5.5x8.5 stock), I can set the printer
settings OK, but when I click on Print the LO shows the requested text
printed at  the top left of a full 8.6x11 sheet; and

the printer's pre-print display follows that instead of the settings it had
accepted from me..

(By exporting  the LO file to the PDF file I finally was able to print to
the half size sheets, but it require my setting the printer to fit to page
printing, which I didn't have to bother with in the last Oracle version.
OOo 3.2.0.)

The LO user guide was no help. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
Did you set the Device to PostScript? PDF printing is buggy in my opinion.
Regards
