Description: Different variants of this bug appear to go back to 2015 or so. When you have a letter-sized document, LibreOffice *insists* on printing it in landscape orientation, and there's no apparent way to alter it. However, I can't find any info on it in current versions. (I did find a lot of old, snarky threads. This issue has been marked closed several times.) Yes, some workarounds work. I can set the document width to be 8.49", and it behaves correctly. I can output to PDF and print the PDF, and that works. However I'm trying to teach my techphobic mother-in-law to use this program, and these workarounds really are a bridge too far. I hope that someone is able to fix this bug soon. It appears to have been in LibreOffice for nearly a decade. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a letter-sized portrait document on a Mac. 2.Try to print it. 3. Actual Results: It forces you to print in landscape, with a giant margin on the right, and cutting it off on the bottom. Expected Results: Printing should match the orientation of the document. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: We upgraded from LO 7.2.2 to 7.5.2, in an effort to fix this. There was no difference.
Please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode

[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
@Adam : could you let us know the locale, keyboard and language settings for: - the OS; - LibreOffice; - the printer name/model, and driver version, (and any default page setting within the printer configuration) Could you also let us know what the default page style is when you open a new Writer document (does it open as Letter, or is it A4) ? I have seen other similar reports in the past, but as I'm an A4 European (fr-FR) user, I would probably have to change my whole work environment to try and reproduce this issue.
Previously reported here, so confirming: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-i-stop-it-from-printing-in-landscape-mode-instead-of-portrait-mode/20765/37 This is an old bug indeed.
Looks like bug 92190 has come back.
Regression, because it was seemingly solved for a while.

It's hard to get all that info immediately--this was at a relative's house, and I was there for the Easter holiday. I'll try to get it soon. But I can confirm that this was in the US--so used standard American settings including American English, and with a default paper size of letter (8½"×11") and not A4.
changing earliest version affected according to OP.
Dear Adam Smith, 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.
