Hi Jeff,

Another problem I have with LO (ver. 4.0.1.2) is that when I try to
print a booklet - let's say a 4 page A5 booklet - on A4 it prints pages
1 and 4 in landscape across the portrait-oriented A4 page rather than
along it. Pages 2 and 3 are similarly affected.
The settings I use are the same as for LO 3.5. The layout image in the
Print dialogue box is the same as in 3.5 so, everything being equal, I
should get the right result. But I don't.
"Same setting" does not help us, because we do not know your setting.
Booklet printing works for me, so perhaps I describe my way and you
can compare it to your way.
Precondition: You document is written in A5. Your printer can duplex
printing.
That's interesting. I've always prepared my documents in A4 (since some
of my collaborators want an A4 rather than a A5 booklet) and then
printed in brochure format, which gives me 2 A5 on a landscape A4.
1. In normal view use LO print dialog via File > Print.
2. Click on printer properties to get the dialog of your printer
driver. Set your printer to use DIN A4 paper. In finishing set the
orientation to landscape, and enable duplex printing on printer. OK.
There's also a setting in my printer properties to choose short-edge' or
'long-edge' binding for duplex. Short edge works for me.
3. In LO print dialog click on tab 'Page Layout' and there on option
'brochure'.
4. OK to print
If your printer cannot duplex printing you need to turn the sheets
manually. The printer manual should have a guide for that. For me it
would be in addition to the settings above:
Step 1: Set 'front page' in drop down 'Includes' on the tab 'Page
Layout'. Print.
Step 2: Put the sheets back into the tray.
Step 3: Set 'back page' in drop down 'Includes' on the tab 'Page
Layout' and mark 'In reverse page order' on tab 'General'. Print.
Kind regards
Regina
Other than the above A4 difference, this has worked in LO 3.6 and LO 4
