>From Calc printer prints Landscape page orientation as Portrait
Steps to reproduce:
0. Close all instances of Libre office
1. Start Calc
2. Type something in first cell
3. do Format->Page orientation Landscape
4. Print this document
Result: document printed in wrong orientation

Note that page preview and printer dialog preview display correct
results and export to PDF exports correctly

Hi all,

> From Calc printer prints Landscape page orientation as Portrait

It is possible that this is the same issue as Bug 38962 (which affects
me).

Please see Bug 38962 Comment 3 for IMHO the key note: The bug is
triggered by Printer Language Type set to PDF instead of one of the PS
options.  The problem seems to exist in 3.4.X and 3.5.X, which provide
Printer Language Type=PDF, while it doesn't in 3.3.X, where PDF is not
an option.  Also, it seems to be primarily related to Brother printers
(both mine are that brand), although it is also reported to affect a
Samsung printer.

HTH.

So, it is probably related to some types of printers or other settings.

Copy-paste workaround that solves my problem perfectly:
Goto File -> Printer Settings -> Properties -> Device and
change "Printer Language Type" from PDF to one of the Postscript options.

I've got LO-3.5.0-beta2 on 3 Win764-bit machines, and have the same
issues with ANY laser printer that's not also a copier (including any
old HP workhorse laser).  Choose any other kind of printer (InkJet,
pseudo-PDF, a business-class copy machine, etc.), and the problem is
non-existent.  I can't find any such "Printer Language" option in Win
and the problem is definitely LO (not OpenOffice). See Bug 44275.

Both print the content in portrait.

Setting File -> Printer Settings -> Properties -> Device and
change "Printer Language Type" from PDF to one of the Postscript options fixes 
the printout until LO is opened again. Once re-opened, the type returns to PDF 
and the printing error returns.

is for the collection of bugs suspected to be due to to something cups-

Some have found that a change to 'Postscript Level 2' will stick...

Printing does not work AT ALL here with a networked PostScript printer (some 
big Xerox machine) and the language set to PDF. It works unreliably with PS. 
Often just nothing happens when you print. The job is not even queued.
Printing from every other application works perfectly. Printing with OO 3.2.0 
used to work perfectly (on Ubuntu 10.04).

So...

cups recommends PDF as the standard print job format and I don't want to
revert back to postscript as the standard print job format because there
are fairly compelling features that using PDF enables.

That said, given the big pile of duplicate bugs here, there are clearly
either a lot of buggy cups+pdf stacks out there or there's something
about our PDF output that trips something up and using postscript is the
only known workaround.

To that end...

a) In any version of LibreOffice in the print dialog or in "printer options" 
you can temporarily override the default print job format for that document for 
the current session. That won't "stick" permanently (it's not supposed to).
b) In spadmin it *should* have been possible to override the print job format 
permanently an individual printers as a workaround. That didn't work and is now 
fixed on master as 08597f2897e5ac752147c8f2c4a91bb557ed4580
b) In LibreOffice 4 under tools->options->print there is now an additional 
checkbox to disable using PDF as the default print job format for all printers 
as 59b98580bfd70205a9ebdb0ba67e74225d875b43

Working under the assumption that the problem is not in our PDF output,
but instead is due to probably multiple different bugs in probably
multiple pieces of the cups stack, this is the best I think we can do on
our side.

See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems#Finding_where_the_problem_lies
for a useful guide to finding what component in the cups stack that
might be causing your individual problems in order to track down the
root causes.

If anyone has any evidence that there really is a fault in our PDF
generation then please open a new bug for that.

Title:
  Libreoffice will no longer print landscape page

Status in CUPS - Common Unix Printing System:
  Fix Released

  Fix Released
Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Since update yesterday, landscape pages print as portrait printing to
  a Brother DCP 135C. Print preview shows a landscape layout, but output
  from printer always comes out as a portrait page. The problem did not
  occur two days ago, and does not occur when printing from other
  applications (eg pdf viewer).

  WORKAROUND: Export the file as a pdf and print that using the pdf
  viewer.

  [IMPACT]

  Landscape-formatted documents from LibreOffice get printed rotated and
  cut off on all printers using Ghostscript's built-in drivers
  ("pxlmono", "ljet4", "hl1250", ...), perhaps also with other drivers.

  [TESTCASE]

  Print the attached file test.pdf via

  lp test.pdf

  on a printer using one of Ghostscript's built-in drivers (not CUPS
  Raster). Result is the content being rotated by 90 degrees and the
  rightmost portion of the content cut off. The same job comes out
  correctly when the proposed package is installed.

  [Regression Potential]

  Patch is simple, there should be no regressions.
