Description Jörg Hartmann 2010-10-12 04:31:06 UTC
OOo/LO prints landscape pages on portrait printers from right to left, so that the top of the landscape page is at the right edge of the print.

Both for mixed docs (containing both portrait and landscape pages/subdocuments) and for bindings or printing on punched paper this is shit. Buttom of page at the side of the binding/punches? Nobody wants that.

For non-duplex printing the easiest solution would be to alter the default to printing from letf to right. For duplex printing alternation is needed. Best would be a user-configureable setting.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1
