Created attachment 87881 [details] simple test document I try the current word processor out a bit in a KDE 4.11.2 session. I put some text into a document where I chose the page size "ISO A5" (orientation "Landscape"). I opened the print dialogue where the printer "Epson Stylus C84" (driven by "CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9") was selected while it provided a standard page size "ISO A4". I chose two pages per sheet and pressed the button "Print" (because the small preview looked fine). I observed that the output was mostly misplaced. It seems that the applied page size was shrunken on the paper in an unexpected way.
Created attachment 88964 [details] scanned sheet of paper ISO A4 for a print result from Stylus C84 with CUPS on openSUSE Does my approach work with a different driver for a concrete device?
Please test with current version of LO. I have not problem with LO 4.3.3 and cups-pdf printer. Please change the status back to UNCONFIRMED if bug still occurs in LO 4.3.x. Thank you

(In reply to raal from comment #2) My printer has changed in the meantime. So I can give further feedback for the initial print task at least. I have specified to print three A5 pages with the device "Kyocera P6021cdn" in a Windows 7 session by the program "LibreOffice Writer 4.4.4.3" with the setup option "two pages per sheet" a moment ago. I expected that a single sheet of paper would be presented with text on both sides. But I got three A4 sheets.
I've got the same problem. Create a A5-Document, choose print - page layout - 2 pages per sheet. LO tries to print two pages on one A5-page, even if printer settings say, page size is A4. (Tested with different printers, with LO 4.4.5.) Worked correctly (2 A5-pages on 1 A4-page) in previous versions and still works in AOO 4.1.1. Would be nice if it could be fixed. Thanks for your good work!
Confirmed in comment 5, setting to NEW.

(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #7) I have checked the software situation with components like the following again. * Linux 4.6 * LibreOffice Writer 5.2.0.4-1.1 * CUPS 2.1.3-195.5 * Kyocera P6021cdn (KPDL) I can open the dialogue "Properties of …" (from the dialogue "Printing") as usual. Now I wonder about the detail that the fields "Paper size" and "Orientation" seem to be greyed out while the size "A5" is displayed there. I would appreciate to switch to the standard size "A4" somehow. Under which circumstances should the combination of smaller pages on a bigger one work as desired?

(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #9) I have checked the software situation with components like the following again. * Linux 4.11.1 * LibreOffice Writer 5.4.1.2-555.1, Build-ID: 40m0(Build:2) * CUPS 2.2.3-214.3 * Kyocera P6021cdn (KPDL) I duplicated the page from my test document. Now it is possible to get two small pages on a single A4 page printed. But I find the text positions wrong for the output from the second page in such a test case (while the print preview looked so promising in the dialogue “Printing” after the selection of the layout “2 pages per sheet”). I would like to know also if a single small page from an example document could be automatically duplicated on the chosen bigger page format (without immediate form feeds).

(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #11) I would appreciate a more constructive feedback to my previous questions. Software components: * LibreOffice Writer 6.1.2.1-735.4, Build-ID: 10(Build:1) * CUPS 2.3b4-231.1
Adding keyword 'regression' as commenters stated that it was OK in old versions of LibreOffice. Markus, not many people are reading here and answering questions. I assume ask.libreoffice.org is a better place. The bug is registered and will be considered for fixing when there is a developer who wants to fix it.
Now there are some new settings: what if you activate "Use only paper size from printer preferences" in the printer Properties dialog? Then you can select A4 as the paper size and orientation how you like. It seems to work for me.
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #14) How should pages be combined for a bigger page then? Background information for possible combinations (I would be interested in): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#/media/File:A_size_illustration2_with_letter_and_legal.svg
(In reply to Markus Elfring from comment #15) > (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #14) > How should pages be combined for a bigger page then? My proposal was in my comment 14. Did you try it? What is wrong with it?
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #14) Do you find a related topic like “New Print dialog is too high” interesting? https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127782
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #16) > What is wrong with it? I have missed indications that you responded to earlier clarification requests for this issue. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70676#c10 I observe still questionable software behaviour with the print dialogue from the program "LibreOffice Writer 6.4.4.2” (VCL: gtk3).

(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #19) The paper size selection is probably working. I became more concerned about the safe application of the print configuration parameter “pages per sheet”. https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-GB/text/swriter/guide/print_small.html

One main issue that was discussed (e.g. comment 5) was the inability to change the paper size to A4 when printing a two-A5-page document on a single sheet. I can reproduce that issue in 6.0, but the issue was resolved at some stage as I can print these two A5 pages on a single A4 page in 7.0 as well as well as in a recent master build: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b10417eb1e5a4a6959e7fc1cdd9819e5b09d39a4 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Another issue that might have come up here is the inability to print two copies of a single page on the same sheet. The workaround is to print pages 1,1. The issue is already tracked in bug 45701. For the rest, there isn't enough information to understand what exactly the issues were, and the succession of comments is very confusing so adding to this report won't be helpful. I am closing as "works for me" for the first issue described above. If other issues remain in currently supported versions, please open other focused reports, one per issue, with clear description and steps to reproduce.
