I agree, I changed it according to your comment and marked bug 6443 and all of its duplicates a duplicate on that one here.
I changed the description to be more accurate, I also confirmed, looking at the duplicates ** Bug 6735 has been marked a duplicate of this bug ** Bug 33963 has been marked a duplicate of this bug ** Bug 6443 has been marked a duplicate of this bug ** Bug watch removed: GNOME Bug Tracker #115476 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115476 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #334719 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334719 ** Description changed: In applications that use libgnomeprint2.2 (I tried abiword and gnumeric) layout settings are not respected when I preview a page or actually print it. In particular, If I change the 'portrait' to 'landscape', in preview mode my page is rotated 90 degrees (good) but my text is rotated as well (not good). As a result, nothing happens. Then, when I print it, my printer confirms my preview. Right now, I have to reboot into Debian Sarge to print certain gnumeric sheets because I don't know how to work around this nasty bug. + + Here is a more detailed description from the upstream gnome bug #334719 + : + + 1. Have spreadsheet. + 2. Goto page setup. + 3. Change page orientation to Landscape. + 4. Click on OK to accept. + 5. Goto print preview. + 6. Page appears in landscape mode, but text/data appears in portrait mode. + 7. Close print preview. Goto page setup. + 8. Change feed orientation to Rotated 90 Degrees. + 9. Goto print preview. + 10. Text/data now appears to be printing correctly. + 11. Goto print (whether to physical printer [Samsung ML-2010] or PDF file) and + page will print incorrectly in portrait mode. ** Changed in: libgnomeprint (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- page layout settings not respected in preview and printing https://launchpad.net/bugs/24785 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
