Description birnbach@posteo.de 2020-09-02 10:12:04 UTC
Description:
I have an Impress document with user defined slide size of 33,87 x 19,05 cm. Naturally, printing out such a slide on A4 paper (29,7 x 21,0 cm) will cut off the sides. 

Selecting "scale to printable area" option (German localization "In druckbaren Bereich einpassen") causes the printer request paper of the size the slide has. My printer is a HP LaserJet P4515x. When printing into a file the created PDF has dimensions of the user defined slide.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create document with slide size larger than printer paper size
2. open print dialogue
3. select: more -> scale to printable area
4. OK

Actual Results:
printer halts, requests paper of correct size


Expected Results:
printer prints scaled slide on selected paper


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
This problem is probably neither restricted to Impress nor to OS X

The problem persists. 

To be honest, the LO printing system is so bad on Mac that I try to avoid it where I can. Instead, I export into PDF and go from there.

A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported.
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.
