Description meine.mail2016 2025-07-18 07:27:50 UTC

When changing the printer in the printer dialogue, the print orientation of a page in landscape format is changed from landscape to portrait format in the ‘Automatic’ status.

Steps to Reproduce:

2. adjust the page layout from portrait to landscape format
3. open the print dialogue (CTRL+P or via the menu)
4. change the printer

Actual Results:
The orientation of the page changes to portrait format.

Expected Results:
The orientation of the page remains the same even after selecting a different printer.

Addition:
This behaviour causes pages in landscape format to be printed incorrectly for a document with different page orientation. Manually changing the orientation in the print dialogue always affects all pages, which then also leads to an incorrect printout.

Explanation using an example:
A document with three pages is to be printed. Page one is in portrait format, page two in landscape format and page three in portrait format again. The page orientation is controlled via the format templates (page templates). 
The correct orientation is initially displayed in the print dialogue and the printout is error-free. 
After changing the printer, all pages are printed in portrait format, regardless of the actual page layout.

It is the same behaviour but a different initial problem.
