Description Peter Wilkins 2020-01-06 04:38:40 UTC
Description:
I seem to be unable to print (LO Draw 6.3.3) a diagram in landscape mode, even when selecting landscape, per:

[Page] [Properties] [Page] [Orientation] : Landscape
The diagram displays as expected in landscape mode, but no matter how I try to print (whatever print driver), I get landscape printed, but the diagram is always cropped on the right side, as if I had been trying to print a landscape diagram with the printer set to portrait (which it was not).

This is described and discussed on "Ask LO"

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/219014/lo-draw-landscape-print-crops-diagram/



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create LO Draw document page formatted as Landscape
2. Print settings, change orientation to landscape
3. Print ..

Actual Results:
Document prints as portrait, with the right part of the diagram truncated.  It does not matter whether print settings left at default "Automatic" or manually changed to "Landscape" ... it prints in portrait orientation with (of course) the right side of the diagram truncated,

Expected Results:
Expect to print as landscape, which is the page format orientation of the LO Draw document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
If the document is "Exported" to PDF, as expected, it produces a landscape PDF document ... but impossible to do if using print.

Work-around seems to be to "export to PDF" ... then open exported PDF and print that.  But I should not need to do that.  Besides, it is not generally obvious to many users that this is a band-aid work around,
