Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108961
Paper size is ignored while Printing (DL becomes A4)
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:30:40 UTC
With Ooo 3.2 RC4 on Mac I cannot print DL envelopes. Papersize in writer is DL Envelope. But the print dialog always shows an A4 or letter page. Tested with postscript and non-postscript Epson printer driver. I had to downgrade to Ooo 3.1. No problems here.
Can't see any difference between 3.0 and The aktual RC.
@HI: please have a look

I have the same problem on linux (Mandriva 2010). Is there a fix for this yet? OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 OOO310m19 (Build:9420)
Reassigned to HI
Please describe your settings at the envelope dialog in tabpage Format & Printer. Thanks
I have not used the envelope dialog yet. I have made a new document (or open an old one) and set the page size to DL envelope wide (22x11 cm). When I try to print such a document the print dialog preview shows a wrong (bigger) paperzize (A4). This is differnt to ooo 3.1. I have discoverd when I enter a non standard paper size (v.e. 24x11 cm) the papersize does not change in the print dialog. I have ssen that the envelope assitant has differnt settings on how envelopes are stored in the printer. depending on that setting marings where added to the papersize or not. My printer detects envelopes automaticly an expects only papersizes that match the envelopes. To me it looks like, when an an envelope paper format is choosen, ooo 3.2 automaticaly adds additional margins, that I don't need. These margins can be set the envelope assitant with the paper feed options. But this is only for new documents. Can these settings be manipulated afterwards?

Yep, regression to 3.1 Need to be fixed

So a regression from OOo 3.1 is not going to be fixed in OOo 3.3! How surprising !!! After all, Mac users couldn't print brochures until OOo 3.3. Maybe by OOo 3.6 we will be able to print envelopes again. Thanks again for the wonderful attention being paid to issues for Mac users. Hmm. iWorks 2011 or MS Office 2010? Time to decide.
Resetting target accroding to new task handling scheme announced here: http://blogs.sun.com/ratte/entry/some_changes_for_the_openoffice
IMO the same as http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113562
Set the 'regression' keyword.
let's try to fix this after branchoff
Fixed in CWS ooo34gsl01: if the printer driver reports DL as supported, a DL sized document will choose DL as paper size now.
please verify in CWS ooo34gsl01
Verified with cws ooo34gsl01 = ok
Not fixed in OOo 3.4 Beta
I'm struggling with this problem on a Mac. I find that print also defaults to A4 if I set page size to A5 or A3. In fact, if I set page size to something roughly approximating to 1.4 : 1 ratio, then it defaults to A4. It's extremely annoying and I'll have to revert to OOo3.1 till it's fixed, but where can I download 3.1?
