Bug 121053

Created attachment 146166 [details]
look at recognised printers

seems like previous comment wasn't saved

after much efforts and struggling i seemed to have libreoffice nad theprinter run smoothly, but after some ten minutes the printer with part of the mac address in the name appeared, but only libreoffice sees it
since it appeared the printer with the konica drivers prints in a4/letter only, while the other printer can "recognize" sizes similar to those i'm using but provided it does it prints portrait in any case, no matter what option i choose

little update:
i tried to print a mailmerge on a file from the printing screen:
the outcome was a pdf written on letter size rather than envelope

Please give EXACT and most simple steps, given in detail.
Like where you put envelopes, what settings is printer, etc.
Do not say "possibly using mailmerge". It's not clear if this is print or mailmerge issue.

i said mailmerge because it seemed to affect only when i used mailmerge, but it's not so, thus let's start with the simplest hypothesis:

Libreoffice version now is 6.1.3.2
Build ID: 1:6.1.3-1

-new document
-format (not sure in english)
-page
-select size c6/5
-select horizontal
-write something
-ctrl-p
-in the preview you see that if you use printer proprietary driver page size becomes a "letter"
-if i print printer asks me for a bigger than an envelop size, and provided i can print, of course writings are printed everywhere but when i need them to be


in order to print letter envelops i outta put paper, envelops, etc into the manual loader

libreoffice and other document viewers/editors, not cups, show another 4050 driverless printer

after latest updates things vary slightly if i choose driverless printer: writings are printed rather shifted, but playing with margins makes it almsot acceptable


not sure if i am missing something

Dear Carlo,
The Print Dialog has been revamped in LibreOffice 6.3.
Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build

hiya
just made libreofficedev 6.3 run (Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 98630a0bd49bd80652145a21e4e0d0ded792b36b
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-05-04_04:44:35
Locale: it-IT (it_IT.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded)

i've made a couple of tests: i took an old file of mine which worked with previous LibreOffice versions and i made a brand new file, but every time i go for mailmerge libreoffice turns the page into letter size, even A4

Yep, that's reported in bug 123076

This one could be a duplicate of Bug 98589.

I agree (it says "sometimes to Letter size paper"), let's dupe
