Using Writer with Windows XP and HP LaserJet 4 with HP accessory envelope feeder to do merge prints. Printing worked fine in OOO 3.2, although I had issue with merge print failing to print final fields. Merge issue is fixed in both current releases of LO (3.3.4 and 3.4.3), but Writer wants to print a blank envelope after each printed one. I tried printing to a file, and the file looks fine, but when you try to print that file, it's the same issue -- blanks between printed envelopes. I took the output file from LibreOffice and opened it in OOO 3.2, and that prints the blank envelopes, too, so it's likely a page-size format problem in whatever output from LibreOffice. I suspect the envelope height may be misdefined at 4.13". The actual height for a #10 envelope is 4.125". Are these parameters accessible anywhere without having to rebuild the app from source?
Okay. Nothing wrong with the envelope size, but there's still a problem. Found the checkbox for inserting blank pages. It shouldn't default to "on". There are two checkboxes, though. One in the File/Printer Settings/Options menu, the other in the print dialog, under the Writer option tab. Both must be unchecked. They don't seem to talk to each other. They're also not talking to something else. If print to a file is done, and then you try to print the file, the page number selection is all screwed up. It's as if it's counting pages including the non-existing blank pages. Some part of whatever keeps track of page numbers to print is assuming that checkbox is always ticked. To repeat, this is a problem specifically in merge-printing.
Thanks for bugreport Please, verify if in last version of LibreOffice still reproducible And if still exist then attach document, produced by merging (remove all confidential information from document and ensure that it still demonstrates this problem)
I think this one is a DUP of or related to "Bug 31606 - Exporting a selection of pages to PDF has pagerange wrong because of blank pages"
