, but I have a different problem, but the same subject:
Is there a way in OOo Calc to generate TRUE page breaks? Example;
I'm using an HP 1320 laserjet that has duplexing (two sided printing)
capability. I'm printing a 27 or
so page spreadsheet that needs to be broken up by Technician ID
number. Each tech may have any
number of pages associated with their ID. But all pages associated
with that ID are together,
ie; Page 1 is all TechID1, Page 2-7 is TechID2, Page 8-11 is TechID3,
etc...
I want the Laserjet to only print a particular Techs statistics per
page, front and back. So the first page
in the above example would have TechID1 on the front and the back of
the page blank. The next sheet
of paper would start with TechID2 and print the next 3 pages, front
and back, with TechID2's stats. and so on.
I've tried inserting additional "manual breaks" INSERT > MANUAL BREAK
in addition to the page breaks
but cannot get the Laserjet to understand that I want the next page
blank as in the case of TechID1.
There's an option in "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org Calc - Print" to
supress printing of empty pages, which is on by default. Turn it off and
your method of inserting additional Row Breaks will work, if I can
believe what I see in print preview. It's still not perfect though - it
would be nice to be able to start each sheet on an odd number page, and
have OOo automatically insert the required blank pages - as Writer
appears to do. Then I could have suggested starting each TechID on new
sheet, within the same Calc document - but that won't work as it is
currently AFAIK.
Do I need to insert 66 blank lines to get the printer to understand?
BTW, I'm sorry to say that Excel does this properly. It's a true page
break inserted, informing the printer
to print a blank page, not just a row break as OOo Calc inserts.
You probably have the same choice of supressing empty pages there too,
but perhaps the default setting in different.
