Trying to learn a bit about Linux, as well as solve a printing issue
with LO in Linux Mint 17.3. The printer is a Samsung CLP-315 color
laser.
When printing a spreadsheet, and selecting landscape, LO prints
landscape, but to paper that is still portrait. Sort of like this...

The dots represent the data that is trying to be printed.
If I set the paper to portrait, this is the result. All the data is
printed.

My suspicion is the printer driver, but I would like to install the
current Linux stable version. Mint installs 5.0.3.2, which is the
current version in the repository, from what I can see.
I know it's somewhat apples to oranges, but the same spreadsheet works
fine on my Mac with the current version of LO.
Once I've downloaded the current version, where to I go from there?
Hi Ken,
There any many versions of Linux, just look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions
to see. If you are wishing to stay with Mint, then take a look at their
home page. There plenty are of good options and
you will find that people have their preferences and tend to stay with
them. I use MX-Linux, which is based on
Debian, like MInt, and is a mid sized but very stable operating system.
MX has LO built in.
Where you setting your portrait/landscape option, in LO?
Gordon.
