Public bug reported:
I have been having this issue since Ubuntu 10.04, currently using 12.04.
I have a custom program in Wine that should print landscape in long
bond/folio size. The program prints in landscape but whatever paper I
choose, it stops the size of portrait size paper. I first thought it to
be a problem of Wine, so I was coordinating the bug with Wine forum/bug
tracker (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=54091), and for a while
I thought it fixed. But when I upgraded to 12.04, the problem came
back.
On a hunch I tried Ubuntu LibreOffice and it printed it exactly the same
way, landscape and portrait size. Googling I saw a lot of people having
similar problems with LibreOffice, but I thought they are focusing on
LibreOffice as the culprit, the same way I was focusing on Wine as the
culprit. I did try other apps, like the PDF writer. Googling further
would reveal other users with their own apps having the same output on
Ubuntu, Suse, etc.
I saw that some are focusing on their app (ie. LibreOffice, PDF Writer,
Wine, etc) or the ppd file of their printer. I also upgraded my ppd
file for my HP printer, same result.
I have tried all the apps with printers from Canon (ip2770), HP (Deskjet
Ink Advantage), Epson (lpt - FX2175) and results are all the same.
Therefore, there is only 1 common to all of these, and it is Cups. I
haven't seen anybody really focusing on problem to be cups, I was
thinking maybe some Cups programmer/developer might be able to check
this out. Why landscape printing disregards paper size and sticks to
portrait.
Thanks.
