Ok, I'm at my wits end. We have a Canon Imagerunner iR-ADV
C5030/5035 UFR II. It has 4 paper trays: 2 for Letter (different
orientations), one for Legal, and one for Tabloid. Microsoft Office
works fine under the following circumstances, but Libreoffice is
driving me crazy.
I create a new blank document (Calc or Writer). I add some data. I
click File > Print. The print dialog comes up, showing the little
Print Preview, and for Letter and Legal size options, everything
works as expected. BUT... If I change the paper size to Tabloid
Print dialog does show it in landscape mode, but the paper size is
showing as Letter, NOT tabloid. Nothing I can do will change this.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to print to Tabloid size documents with
Libreoffice and this copier.
Anyone have any ideas why Libreoffice is doing this?
I'm guessing here, but Microsoft Office has only one place to define
page and paper size, I think, whereas LibreOffice has two: you define
page size in Format | Page... but paper size at File | Printer
Settings... (or elsewhere). When you start your "new blank
document", do you go to Format | Page... | Page | Paper Format and
select an appropriate size? If not, you are expecting LibreOffice to
scale your printout automatically - or even to rotate it.
But, as I say, I'm guessing. Printers are never straightforward!
I trust this helps.
