Description randomly_chosen 2018-12-31 00:31:04 UTC
Description:
PRINTING: When trying to print a document on LibreOffice Writer using my Epson L200 printer, I cannot change the size the document will be printed on. I can go to the printer properties and change the paper size, but upon clicking OK and returning to the dialogue box for printing, the size will have returned to the default (A4). If I try to open the printer properties again, the paper size will have returned to A4 there as well. It appears to occasionally, randomly accept a different paper size, but I cannot get it to change reliably.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On LibreOffice Writer, choose File > Print.
2. Choose an Epson L200 and select Properties. 
3. On that dialogue, change the paper size and click OK.

Actual Results:
Changing the paper size on the Properties dialogue does not actually change it; the print preview refreshes but remains on the default size (A4). If the Properties dialogue is opened again, the default size is selected again.

Expected Results:
The paper size changes.


Reproducible: Always

Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

User must know about "Use only paper size from printer preferences" checkbox on the "Options" tab if (s)he wants to change paper size just for single print.
Please try with that. 
And explain exactly what's the original paper size you're trying to change.

You need to be specific on paper size to know if this is a duplicate of, for example, Bug 105615.

I now updated to 6.0.7.3, is that the latest version? Problem remains.

I tried using the checkbox "Use only paper size from printer preferences"; it did not change anything.

About the paper size: The size I'm trying to print in is 'user defined' 21,59cm x 33,30cm, but I've tried changing it to other sizes and the problem usually remains. (Sometimes I successfully change to a different size, but it seems random; there isn't a certain size it'll accept.) While trying to troubleshoot this, I accidentally installed a US driver for the printer which set my default size to letter; while it was installed, the problem remained, except that the size it was stuck on was letter instead of A4. (That is to say, it seems to be stuck on whatever the default paper size is.)

It does seem to be quite similar to Bug 105615, though. Should I do anything?

I have same probrem in my document.

I tryed to print "Hagaki" (Japanese postcard) size document with EPSON printer,
but it doesnt't work.
Creating "Hagaki" size PDF with PDF creater software (work as printer) is work correctly,
so it seems to upon only when we use EPSON printer.
