Description harcesz 2017-03-06 11:05:17 UTC
Description:
We might have encountered a persistent bug, that we can reproduce in two versions of Libre office at hand; 
5.1.6.2 (ubuntu/mint LTE version)
5.3.0.3 (current, tested on ubuntu 16.04) 

when attempting to print a multiple copies of a document with >3 pages the sorting of document acts differently between the versions (as in the order of pages), but illogically in both cases, mixing in pages form another copy on to the same physical pages as the earlier one, or acting in a weird way altogether.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter page numbers on 3 pages, 
2.send to print in 2 copies, with sorting,
3.see effect
...
4. PROFIT! ;]

Actual Results:  
1st copy:
sheet1: pages 1,2
sheet2: pages 3,3
sheet3: pages 1,2 

Expected Results:
if a users wants to print 2-3 copies of an legal agreement or such, the pages need to be constantly in the same order, and no elements of the 2, 3rd copy can by on the same physical sheet of paper as the 1st copy.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
there is a very simple workaround that my coworker 'invented' and used before deciding to consult the problem; sending a single document to print with a single copy per copy needed
this might have caused the bug to go unreported

I do not get your freaky result with 2-sided printing + collation. Using HP Laserjet 700 MFP M775 here.

Did you try "Create single print jobs for collated output" in the Options tab of LibreOffice printing dialog? It was unchecked for me, but maybe checking it will help you.
