Description Paolo Benvenuto 2012-05-18 00:38:09 UTC
I have a letter, and I use a db in order to personalize various page element.

My letter is one only page,

When I go and create the merge (I used a 130 elements db), an empty page is inserted between printable pages, so that when I print the merge result I get the double sheets: my letters and 130 blank sheets.

The only way not to print blank pages is to print left pages and then right ones. But it's a trick, which most user aren't supposed to use.

Besides that, the bad thing of this bug is that the user is getting many blank pages printed, and it's not simple to understand why.

Might be intended behavior?

@reporter:
Thank you for your report – unfortunately important information is missing.
May be hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> will help you to find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem? If you believe that that  is really sophisticated please as for Help on a user mailing list
Please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot) or refer to an existing 
  sample document in an other Bug with a link; to attach a file to this 
  bug report, just click on "Add an attachment" right on this page.
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a document related step by step instruction containing every 
  key press and every mouse click how to reproduce your problem 
  (similar to example in Bug 43431)
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected (blank page afterevery page or between
     different recipients? ...
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC (video card, ...)
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
    (Print Settings "Print automatically inserted blank Pages, ...)
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- Whether your problem persists when you renamed your user profile before you
     launch LibO (please see
     <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#User_profile_location>)
