Created attachment 119545 [details] portrait document - 4 pages per sheet When the "Pages per sheet" option is changed in the "Page Layout" tab, there is a failure to rotate the page appropriately. When printing documents that are in portrait orientation (e.g., Writer documents), changing "Pages per sheet" to 4 or 9 requires a rotation, which does not happen. When printing documents that are in landscape orientation (e.g., Impress presentations), changes "Pages per sheet" to 2 or 6 requires a rotation, which does not happen.
(In reply to joe.lee from comment #0) When reporting a bug, it must be clear what's current and expected behavior. And only one issue per bug report. > When the "Pages per sheet" option is changed in the "Page Layout" tab, there > is a failure to rotate the page appropriately. Not clear where the failure is. If a document is portrait, it prints so. If you want it to print it as landscape, you can use Page-Format. Even MSO doesn't seem to have a magic button to both rotate the page and text for this. > When printing documents that are in portrait orientation (e.g., Writer > documents), changing "Pages per sheet" to 4 or 9 requires a rotation, which > does not happen. It doesn't require a rotation. All depends on how you want it to print. > When printing documents that are in landscape orientation (e.g., Impress > presentations), changes "Pages per sheet" to 2 or 6 requires a rotation, > which does not happen. It doesn't require a rotation. But it's true it's not possible. The issue I noticed here is that we can't set printer to other page layout in LO 51+. In 5.0 we can, but without effect. That's not related to printing multiple sheets. I suggest that be a bug. Tested on Windows, but this doesn't seem like a platform specific.

Comment from bubli on IRC: "It is possible to set printer to other page layout - but one has to go to "Options" tab and check "use paper size & orientation from printer settings" ... bad UX, but it's on my todo list to fix it" I will set this to NEW then.

After the print dialog rework which was done as a GSOC project, I can no longer reproduce this. Also, it's now possible to easily select explicitly whether to print in portrait or landscape, so I'm closing this as WORKSFORME. Please reopen in case I have missed anything.
