GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 554451
Cannot print in landscape orientation
Last modified: 2009-11-01 10:28:08 UTC
Please describe the problem: 1. Open the attached PDF 2. Select File -> Print Setup 3. Set Orientation to Landscape 4. Select File -> Print -> Print Preview 5. Preview shows a page in Portrait format with the "overlapping" part of the landscape PDF cut off. Exactly the same happens when actually printing. I am not sure if the result ought to be (a) a portrait printout containing the *rotated* landscape PDF or (b) a landscape printout containing the unrotated landscape PDF, but clearly the current behaviour is very wrong. It also seems to me that variant (a). is more likely to produce the desired result with all printers, but I might be wrong. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

See also http://bugs.debian.org/542519 “I have an EPS file (attached), which is prepared in landscape orientation. Document Viewer (evince) reads and displays it fine, displaying it correctly in landscape orientation. Going to the print dialog and clicking on Print Preview, the preview again looks fine (shown in landscape orientation). But when I then press the print button, it prints out wrong. The paper page is in portrait orientation, the image is printed out across it (landscape-wise) so that only part of the image appears on the paper. The horizontal x-axis should display 0 to 50, but only 0 to 40 fits on the printed page. I can also explicitly select Landscape in the Print Setup dialog box. But in fact that does not actually fix the printed image. It still comes out misoriented.”
I can confirm that this is still the case with version 2.26.1 on Ubuntu 9.04.
I cannot reproduce this issue with 2.29.1 (git master). Can some of you confirm that this bug has been solved ?
It should be fixed by bug 599470.
