Description Dr. Martinus 2024-05-16 07:44:58 UTC
Description:
I want to print a label using landscape orientation. However, even though landscape is set in the printer settings and in the LO print dialog, the preview only shows portrait orientation, and it prints also only in portrait mode.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a document (writer) with standard size (in this cas 62x100 mm)
2. select print
3. set orientation to landscape in the print dialog, maybe also in the properties of the printer

Actual Results:
 The preview shows consisstantly portrait orientation, cutting the text at the right edge, and the printout is the same: portrait orientation, text cut at the right edge

Expected Results:
The rpeview should change to landscape orientation, so that the text is fully visible within the preview and on the printout.


Reproducible: Always

The printer is a brother QL-570, drivers are taken from brother and have worked for years just fine. The document I used has been saved the first time maybe 10 years ago, and since then I use it, just changing the text (it's not a template). Using OpenOffice 4.1.15, it works straight away.

Thanks for the report!
Same issue as in bug 154959, affecting other Brother label printers, marking as duplicate.

Thank you, that checks out with the other two reporters using Arch.
