Sorry, but I think you are missing the point here. The original
query (as evidenced by the message subject) was about printing
what OpenOffice calls a brochure. And the way that OpenOffice
works (at least, how the current version 2.4.1 works on Windows)
is that you print a brochure by setting the *page* orientation (in
Format | Page... | Page) to portrait but the *paper* orientation
(in File | Printer Settings...) to landscape. So you do need both.
In any case, brochure printing seems to be the least of its
problems. "Printer Settings" is disabled altogether, which is
completely unacceptable.
I think I missed the point with brochure printing in my answer
yesterday, i.e. printing several document-pages per sheet. This
works, it's a part of the "Layout" tab in the OSX print dialogue.
Only the manual page orientation buttons are missing, so there is no
possibility to override OO's "choice", which seems to work fine.
Curious. The "Printer Settings" button is disabled on "Printer Setup",
but everything's OK on "Print".
