Bug report:
PRINTs landscape despite configured as portrait (Mac OS)

The problem seems to relate to LETTER page format. The workaround (mentioned in comment 14 of bug mentioned by m.a.riosv) is to slightly shrink the page size in LibreOffice.

Libre Office Vanilla prints in Landscape even though it's set to Portrait

Libre Office Vanilla prints in Landscape even though it’s set to Portrait: The print preview is correct, but the actual printing is Landscape. MAC OS Sierra 10.12.4 Libre Office Vanilla 5.2.3.5 Notes: Open doc in Libre Office (Non vanilla) prints fine. Workaround: Change page format to 8.51 x 11.00 and it works. My guess is the LETTER page format is busted.

how to configure libre office vanilla app to print in portrait

I am using Libre Office Vanilla app and trying to print a document. Cannot make it print in portrait view. The Libre Office site has indicated that the problem is with my printer settings. Have followed all instructions from Libre Office and from my Brother printer and all settings check out. Still, my print jobs continue to come out in Landscape, in spite of the print preview showing as Portrait. I am using a Mac Book Pro / OS X / Yosemite 10.10.5. Can you help me?

selected portrait but prints in bad landscape?

I am running LibreOffice Vanilla 5.0.1.2. A simple spreadsheet is set to print in portrait mode. It prints in a bad version of landscape. However, the export to pdf works as expected and produces a page in portrait mode. I have already deleted the entire profile found on my MAC at /Users//Library/Containers/com.collabora.libreoffice-free There was no difference before or after deleting the profile. The same result shows on different machines with different printers while printing many dif…

will not print draw docs in landscape

Why do NeoOffice and OpenOffice do something that apparently LibreOffice can’t – print a draw doc in landscape mode. Using MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, printing with HP OfficeJet 7210. L.O. will print spreadsheets and write docs in any mode and draw docs in portrait but not landscape, regardless of how I tinker with the various document / printer settings, system prefs, etc. Am I missing something?

Wow, this bug is over 2 years old. Being able to properly print seems like a key function in a word processor.

We need a Mac developer to fix Mac-only bugs. Would you volunteer?

I have the same problem on my Mac. The same document printing to the same printer works fine from my PC. I believe it to be a bug.

I will also add that Print Preview shows it correctly oriented.

Version: 5.4.0.3 on Mac OS Sierra

Just installed version 5.3.5002 on iMac with Mac OS Sierra and still has this same problem. Both suggested work arounds are awkward for a new user. Can this not be corrected, as I see later releases still have the same bug.

Another issue. Pages app from start up presents new document in 4 seconds, Word in even less time. Took me a full 17 seconds to get to a new Writer blank page from start up.

Same here (almost) ver 5.4.2 on OS X Sierra. Print Preview (Writer) shows incorrect orientation… (Calc) presents the correct orientation.
Also slow startup.
