OKAY, so here goes. I am attempting to print a document as a
brochure in Writer. Every time I try, though the pages are
/usually /in the right order, the margins are not maintained,
causing me to lose part of the text off the page. I have
those may have been set in your printer driver. OOo will not know about
those changed margins, depending on the printer driver. Some HP printer
drivers don't behave well ...
attempted to manually set margins, use mirrored margins, use ooo's
"brochure" selection in print options, not use the "brochure" but
use my printer's equivalent, etc etc. I tried saving as a new
document and making my page size 5.5 x 8.5 (half size) and print
that way also. I used the "help" section on "Printing a Brochure"
step by step exactly and that did not work. I tried making sure
should work on default pages. Do not shrink the pages, the "brochure"
setting will do that temporarily for you. Do not change page order, the
"brochure" setting will apply the necessary order for you. These changes
will not show up in the Page Preview.
my printer's heads were aligned. I honestly DO NOT UNDERSTAND
what is causing this not to work. I have wasted approximately 50
sheets of paper trying every setting in the universe to get this
to work. (and I've only been printing pages 1-4 until I get it to
work. I have used my printer's print preview feature many times
and canceled the print too.)
I am running Windows XP, OpenOffice.org 2.3, and I have an HP
Deskjet D1420 printer. I have tried updating the drivers for my
using Windows, you can save some trees when you install the Fineprint
printer driver. http://www.fineprint.com/products/fineprint/benefits.html
It is shareware, you can try it before you buy it. It gives a nice
preview of what will really get on to your paper pages. Saves ink, too.
Hope this helps
Uwe
