Description tom knaffl 2019-10-09 07:58:02 UTC
Description:
DRAW does not print in Original size but enlarges to page, when printing 2 pages on 1 paper page

Steps to Reproduce:
1. DRAW Drawing 61x91mm
2. Print: Page Layout: 2 Pages per sheet
3. (Options: Use only paper size from printer preferences

Actual Results:
When printing 2 pages per sheet, DRAW enlarges the drawing to bigger papersize. So i have to print 1 Pager per sheet.
Also: it does not draw a frame around my drawing, which I need, because I need to cut it to small original size with a knife.

Expected Results:
Print 2 pages per sheet in original size (not enlarge to papersize).
And draw a Frame around the drawing, so I have orientation where to cut to small original size. As i am designing a visiting card.



Reproducible: Always

I can confirm with
Version: 6.3.3.2 (x64)
Build-ID: a64200df03143b798afd1ec74a12ab50359878ed
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE
Calc: threaded
a much newer release, and on Windows, so it's a general problem, the size option on the LibreOfficeDraw tab seems not to be handled correctly.

But in your special case there's a workaround: draw a rectangle of your card size, without filling, to be used for cutting aut the card; then move your "card to the upper left of the printing area and copy it as many times you need to fill the paper size. This will result in even less paper waste than printing two cards on one piece of paper.

"Original size" is marked in the LibreOffice Draw tab of the Print dialog.

Actual Results:
When printing 2 pages per sheet, DRAW enlarges the drawing to bigger papersize.

Now: it does draw a frame around the drawing. But this change again the image size.

Expected Results:
Print 2 pages per sheet in original size (not enlarge to papersize).
"Draw a border around each page" must not change the image size.

Dear tom knaffl,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
