Description codedragon76 2004-02-20 01:09:09 UTC 
To reproduce simply set you page to page width to 5' and your height to 3' and
set to landscape. No output is generated. I can find no way to print to a 3x5
card in landscap mode. All other attemps at setting print to the card in portrait.
Comment 1 h.ilter 2004-03-02 15:36:35 UTC 
I assume you get a blank page in cause of cutting the print-range.
You build a landscape page with portrait settings. 
When the printer gets the order to print as landscape to a page, which has
portrait settings, you have data loss.
Just try and place your text once on top, middle and buttom of the page to see
the print behavior.
Comment 2 codedragon76 2004-03-02 16:19:16 UTC 
The problem is that this same procedure, under Micro$oft Word, works. I cannot
find a way to print on a 3x5 card in landscape format using OpenOffice.
Comment 3 codedragon76 2004-03-03 03:52:16 UTC 
upon additional review, it appears this also happens on other sizes as well. If
the margins are NOT modified, it prints properly. Modifying the margins causes
the print failure.

set target OOo later
Comment 5 darrylo 2004-03-03 21:12:42 UTC 
It would be very nice if this could be fixed in 2.0 (or earlier ;-), as this bug
makes printing envelopes nearly impossible.
Comment 6 h.ilter 2004-03-16 12:51:34 UTC 
HI->OS: Printing of envelopes is realy difficult. It looks like a clamped feature.
Comment 7 Oliver Specht 2004-06-09 09:15:34 UTC 
os->ssa: Printing such a document creates weird results. 
Ghostview shows me a page of letter size. Printing on a Xerox printer prints
empty pages regardles whether the page is set to portrait or landscape.
Comment 8 stephan_schaefer 2004-06-11 09:04:14 UTC 
ssa->hi: please check if the bug exists with latest product patch version.
several bugs regarding printing were fixed meanwhile.

ssa->dv: please, have a look.
Comment 13 dirk.voelzke 2004-10-28 08:37:33 UTC 
The svx page dialog never sets the page size at the printer, but some printers
use huge page offsets together with existing paper sizes to emulate user page
sizes ( especially in landscape ).  Because the page setup dialog never sets the
size, it will not be informed about those offsets and later priniting will fail.

pb: accepted.
Comment 15 pb 2004-11-09 09:06:34 UTC 
pb: too much effort to implement and test needed -> OO Later.
