Sorry, I feel the need to underpin bug 146047 comment 3 with few additional examples :-)

I'd suggest starting with comparioson on how other Office software handles this. I think printing pages with mixed orientations is a reasonable expectation, otherwise paper size in the printer is a given.

Apart from that, one can implement some tricky handling based on various outliers that probably almost no one cares about.

The example combines C6 and letter, a very unusual situation. But it's simple to reproduce with A4 in portrait and landscape. The issue becomes clear when you have more than two pages or go back to p1: the preview updates too late and in case of alternating orientation on each page you always see the wrong orientation. So it's just a matter of when to redraw.

Sounds like you're not using master :-). That's the case before bug 145354 

And this wasn't my point. The point being that a single Writer Document can use different page sizes/orientations. And a the Print Dialog offers option to set the page orientation of all pages at once. Which probably breaks the design layout. 

For Writer this must be handled at document level in my perception. Impress is more complicated.. However I personally have the tendency to configure paper size in print driver dialog. But well I'm kind of old school here.

Dear Telesto,

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.
