Good morning,
Apologies if this is a duplicate, but I cannot seem to figure this out and did not have any luck searching for a recent topic/question - the results appear to be from versions from a few years back.
I am having trouble with page orientation when printing a label out of LibreOffice (tried Writer and Draw).
The label does print, but the print orientation is either incorrect, or cut off and/or shifted like the orientation is correct but the print text is rotated incorrectly.
This is the 2nd computer I have tried it on.
A test page prints correctly, which seems to me that the printer and driver are working properly.
I built a simple text document in Writer and a simple FontWork text in Draw and played around with the page orientation in the document, in the print dialog and printer properties.
FreeOffice printed correctly (different computer).
I have tried setting the CUPS page sizes as reversed.
I have tried setting the LibreOffice page sizes as reversed.
I tried printing saving as a .PDF and printing - while the document and print preview appear to be find the printout is blank.
Printing out of gLabels 3.4.1-9 works as well, which is a workaround for the time being.
I would say I’m losing my mind, but I fear that ship has sailed. In the meantime, I feel like I am doing something silly, but what am I missing?
Printer is a Zebra LP2824 Plus from the Dark Ages, but hey it still works! Printing (including the Print Preview) appears to be as expected on a normal sized laser printer, but again, a CUPS test page prints a label correctly.
