[Solved] Does not print properly in landscape

[adiamond]

I've tried Libre and OO and cannot properly print with it. I have selected a few columns that I would like to print in landscape. When I print, only 3 of these columns are printed, taking up only half the page in landscape. It's almost as if it actually print the file landscape like I wanted, but all the settings told it that it was to print it portrait. It's confusing to explain! I need a fix for this bad!

Edit:

I'm using Mepis Linux, but I downloaded a fresh copy from the OpenOffice.org website.

Thanks

Possibly you need to create a print range. The menu selection is Format > Print ranges > Define. Search for print +landscape in the forum. The topic has be discussed quite recently.

I have tried to do that. It acts like it thinks it's supposed to print in portrait mode, but actually prints in landscape mode. So only a portion of the landscape page is getting printed on. This is a really bad bug.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

File - > Page Preview

You should be able to see in the picture, through the File -> Page Preview dialog, that only half the landsacape page is being utilized. Several columns were selected and then defined via a Format -> Print Ranges -> Define.

Define a Print range. In /Format /Page :Page Tab select Landscape. In /File /Print select Printer Properties and verify that Landscape is selected. Works OK on Ubuntu 11.04

I did that, and it still doesn't work. I selected like 6 different columns (using the control, and left mouse click method), then clicked Format -> Define a Print Range, then Format -> Page -> Verify Landscape selected, and then also in File - > Print -> Printer Properties. It only prints 3 columns as described above. Even if I shrink the page via Page Preview down so small you can't even see it, it only shows three columns. Does OO not allow you to select non-adjacent columns to selectively print?

Try hiding the columns you don't want to print.

That worked great, thanks Kingfisher!
