Description of problem: Having an document with only one page in A4 landscape format. If I print this document, it is printed in portrait format so only the middle part of the document is printed, but not the left and right third. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-3.5.3.2-3.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing repo How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: See description Expected results: Printing is done in landscape format Additional info: 1. The document is correctly printed with libreoffice-3.5.2.1-6.fc17.x86_64 2. Printer: samsung-mlp-1660 3. Printing into a PDF or PS file prints correctly too (even with libreoffice-3.5.3.2-3.fc17.x86_64) 4. It seems the interplay between libreoffice and printer driver is buggy.
Probably a sort of cut-off landscape. I've seen this before i think and flipping printer drivers helps
(In reply to comment #1) > I've seen this before i think and flipping printer drivers helps Yes, similar to bug #807308 (Samsung ML-2010, switching to splix solved it). Joachim, what driver do you use ? Post the output of grep -H '^*NickName:' /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd It that's not splix, could you install it and change the driver to "Samsung ML-1660, 2.0.0" ?

By installing the splix software splix-2.0.1-0.9.20120419svn.fc17.x86_64 and reconfiguring the printer, the problem seems to be solved. It now prints flawlessly with libreoffice-3.5.3.2-3.fc17.x86_64 and libreoffice-3.5.2.1-6.fc17.x86_64 Thank you.
Do you have any idea what driver were you using previously ? I can't find any other driver for ML-1660 except splix.

Yes, I have: First, I was using the original driver from Samsung: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=dk&CttFileID=2745812&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=ML-1665&VPath=DR/201001/20100121132724343/UnifiedLinuxDriver_0.86.tar.gz Then I followed yesterday your advice and installed splix (as I told in comment #4).
(In reply to comment #6) > Yes, I have: First, I was using the original driver from Samsung: Ok, closing.
