2006-06-05 07:22:18 Martin Bergner description In applications that use libgnomeprint2.2 (I tried abiword and gnumeric) layout settings are not respected when I preview a page or actually print it. In particular, If I change the 'portrait' to 'landscape', in preview mode my page is rotated 90 degrees (good) but my text is rotated as well (not good). As a result, nothing happens. Then, when I print it, my printer confirms my preview. Right now, I have to reboot into Debian Sarge to print certain gnumeric sheets because I don't know how to work around this nasty bug.

Here is a more detailed description from the upstream gnome bug #334719 : 1. Have spreadsheet. 2. Goto page setup. 3. Change page orientation to Landscape. 4. Click on OK to accept. 5. Goto print preview. 6. Page appears in landscape mode, but text/data appears in portrait mode. 7. Close print preview. Goto page setup. 8. Change feed orientation to Rotated 90 Degrees. 9. Goto print preview. 10. Text/data now appears to be printing correctly. 11. Goto print (whether to physical printer [Samsung ML-2010] or PDF file) and page will print incorrectly in portrait mode.
