(LO version 5)
(Trying to print business-cards)
I can print 16 pages (from a writer-file) on one sheet of A4 paper - but only text.
I can not print 16 pages of pictures on one sheet of A4
What I see:
Selecting multiple pages (itc 16 pages) on one sheet gives a small preview window showing 16 pages (the completet file)
When it’s text, it is shown as expected, and print as it should.
When it’s pictures, the preview window show 16 pages (on one sheet) - but only the first picture is shown. When printing, only the first page contains the picture. The rest of the sheet is empty.
Details & what I have tried:
When trying to print-preview one of the pages that do not show up in the ‘multiple page pr. sheet’ setting, everything looks normal.
Thinking that LO rejects identical pages, I tried adding a different letter to each page (with no luck)

Inspired by an answer on this page, I tried check-marking the boxes forcing LO to use the printer settings, and later also specifying the individual pages to be printed - instead of ‘print all’ (Still no luck)
I have tried checking every single setting for both page and picture, and they appear identical on the printing and non-printing pages.
I have tried (nearly) all combinations of printing/non-printing background pictures, objects, hidden text and more (also tried to play with the picture properties, in particular the page lay-out box for pictures) (without luck)

This irks me… LO can print the picture on 1/16th of the page, so it’s not a scaling (or page size) problem - and since the ‘multiple pages’ function works fine with text, it shouldn’t be a printer driver problem.
The same answer suggested converting to .pdf - I have not tried that yet, as I would prefer a solution within LO.
