Please check how the 1st page prints.  It won't recognize the full print rage ability of the printer for the bottom margin.

After removing the margins for Top, Left, Right and Bottom, plus removing the footer and header options, the printer is able to print to it's maximum area for Top, Left, and Right sides.  But the bottom continues to leave a 1.5 inch of non-printable space.

I've used the same spreadsheet in excel and it has no problem printing well beyond the range that Libre Office does, with both ranges maxed.

I'm calling this a bug because the Top, Left and Right margins are defined the same way that the Bottom margin is, however they behave differently when the sheet is printed.

After removing both the footer and the bottom margin, the spreadsheets printed with Libre Office still leave a good 1.5 inch distance of blank space at the bottom.

I don't have this issue with Excel, so I don't think it's the printer.  Plus the top, left, and right margins print much closer to the edge (about 4 millimeters), whereas the bottom has a good 3 centimeters from the edge of the page.

Confirmed, even defining a print area doesn't change the space left at the bottom. Set to New, change plateform to all. Verified with Version: 4.2.0.1

Dear gorbot,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
