If you use LibreOffice and you are having problem to print in landscape mode, then you are not alone. Some people reported this on LQ and i myself also experienced this problem.
Some members reported a fix for this problem, but requires a lot of changes in the printer behaviour settings. Other member suggested that upgrading CUPS to 1.5.0 should fix this problem and this is what i choose.
Of course, it's not that smooth to upgrade to the latest cups. I had some problem building it and it was discussed on LQ, but finally i'm able to build cups by removing the old patches on Slackware-Current's SlackBuild script.
Now i'm able to build CUPS and fix the problem on LibreOffice. Hopefully this helps for those having same problems with me and with other Slackware users.
Thank you for the trick. Same thing happened to me. Cups will be updated then :(
ReplyDeleteHello Willy, it's me again. The 1.5.0 update to cups not solve the problem, at least for me (on slackware 13.37 not current). I went back to the default slackware version 1.4.6. However, there is a tip to solve it without installing anything: When you print something in LibreOffice, choose the PostScript printer language instead of PDF, and the landscape works. Try it.
