Public bug reported:
I cannot print in landscape from any gnome apps. I can get the
orientation and placement of the printout right but the text is then
clipped to portrait width, leaving the right side of the landscape paper
blank.
1. Open a wide spreadsheet in gnumeric for example.
2. Set landscape and rotate 90 degrees in the page setup dialog. Preview
displays the page correctly.
3. Select print and select landscape again there as well. Preview still
displays the page correctly.
4. Click print (either to a printer or to a pdf file).
The result is that the text is clipped to a portrait format, even though
the orientation and location on the page is right.
I'm using libgnomeprint2.2 2.18.0-0ubuntu1 under Feisty.
It was annoying enough under Ubuntu Dapper, where I had to check both
"landscape" and "rotate 90 degrees" in the page setup dialog, and
"landscape" in the print dialog, or it would not print correctly. That
was probably related to some of the other bugs reported here, #24785 for
example. But at least there _was_ a way to print in landscape.
This is a rather serious issue to me since I print out lots of stuff in
landscape every day, especially from gnumeric.
