Description Sling Shot 2025-08-06 20:20:29 UTC
Description:
I had created an A4 sheet with 2 columns and 5 rows of book labels with Calc 25.2 in PCLinuxOS. Later I went to take a print out of this with my LibreOffice Calc 25.8 RC2 installation in the same machine but Windows 10 operating system.

While I could take a proper printout with 25.2 version of Calc, I only got a faint single pixel outline with 25.8.

NOTE: The print preview shows the full page as expected but the actual printout is lacking.

Printer used is Epson L385 in network print mode. Somewhat similar results are output if printed to PDF too inside Windows using Microsoft PDF printer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the specified document with 25.2 Calc
2. Open it in 25.8 Calc
3. Print the document

Actual Results:
Instead of the full page only a single pixel outline of the print area is printed out.

Expected Results:
The printout should have been as it is shown in preview.


Reproducible: Always

Faulty printout with thin line outline only

Added attachment showing faulty printout. Ignore the central text which is artifact from my experiments to debug this issues and reuse of same paper for trial printouts.

I am hesitant to upload the offending .ods file in public as it may contain images downloaded randomly from the internet.

Without a sample file, it seems difficult to reproduce the issue.

Offending document

This is the offending ODS file.

Reproducible with
Version: 25.8.1.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 79c9e89970bc3ff3db4125bcfe0f9de81caea069
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: es-ES
Calc: threaded

Even in Safe Mode.
When the pdf is opened with Acrobar, shows the images for a moment, and then they disappear.



But it is fine with
Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

A binary from the PDF obtained by printing with 'Microsoft Print to PDF'. Is it white or can you see the image?
