BUG : Impossible to print more 1 copy of a document...

users
#1

Hi,

I installed LibreOffice 3.3.0 Final (OOO330m19 (Build:6) - tag
libreoffice-3.3.0. ) on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition SP2 (32bits)

From Writer, Calc, Draw, it's impossible to print more 1 copy of document.

In Print Dialog box, I select the number of copies , e.g. 2, but only 1 copy
is edited. :frowning:
For printing many copies of document, must use as many times the print
dialog box, it's no good!

My printer is Brother DCp-330C, I use the Vista Default Driver,

This was working fine with OpenOffice 3.2. (without special parameter to do)

Someone have this problem?
Workaround?

Thank you,

Thierry

Hi Thierry,

Yes, I could reproduce this problem on Windows 7 x64, not on Mac. I also
found your bug report (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33693).

As a temporary workaround for many copies, you could export your
document as a PDF file, and then produce multiple print outs from your
PDF reader application.

Kind regards,
Matthias

I think this goes back to 2005 & OOo 1.x. When printing, select the
'Options' tab and then select "Create single print jobs for collated
output"

Yeah, weird I know, but that's the only way I know to get it working
(even in OOo 3.2 and OOo 3.3).

Ooo, that needs to be a bug-report surely? Thanks for the tip btw :slight_smile:

Top posted on purpose.

Tom... when replying use the down arrow & start your reply below the msg
(bottom post). Pretty simple eh?

No, its a real pain for me actually. I work with office people that all
top-post. I am really hoping that most of this starts moving to forums but
until then i think we just have to do what we can.

Gary, if you could answer people's questions rather than just criticising me
then you would reduce the number of posts i make and that would solve your
problem right?

Ok, so you do answer a lot of problems, sorry for my previous post. But it
would be awkward for me to keep swapping and changing.

Apols and regards from

Hi,

First, in my first post I have write which I use the Vista default driver,
I'm wrong, in fact I use the Brother driver but, to be sure that it's not a
driver problem, I have uninstalled (with the Brother specific uninstall
tool) and re-installed the driver : I have the same problem.

Also, I have uninstalled LO and re-install OOo 3.2 : I can print more than 1
copy when I select the number of copies...

Thanks for your workarounds, but I'm not unique user of LO Suite and it's
not easy for other users to remember it, so for this moment I keep OOo...

Thank you all for your answers,

Best regards,

Thierry

P.S. : thank for all which working on this project.

Maybe you could be so kind to try to adapt to the way people prefer to work in a special environment :slight_smile:

Best,

It's a business issue.

All Outlook users do it because it is the default way of working and it's
become the 'standard'. I communicate with a lot of business people and
normally reply like this quoting a little of what they said, they always hit
reply and top post onto a whole heap of unnecessary stuff, including several
copies of their corporate disclaimer, sometimes in several languages.

If you ask them they will usually tell you it's 'policy'. Or to prevent out of
context comments being misread.

Are you on Vista 32 or 64 bits?

I just tried a 5-page document (with a few illustrations) in two copies, and it indeed prints correctly, whether I print all pages (in two copies) or just a single page (again in a few copies). I will try it next week at the office to see how things work, but I know that on my Windows 7 64-bit system, one of the printers refuse to print more than one copy at a time irrespective of the program I use, and on another Windows 7 64-bit system, the same printer refuses to do so with Microsoft Office and only that.

That being said, I suspect interaction between LibreOffice and your versions of the system and printer driver. Generally speaking, I find that the new dialog boxes used by many modern-day softwares, including LibreOffice 3.3 often conflict with the general configurations of the system and of the printer itself.

Hi,

Thank you for your tests. I'm on Vista 32bits.

Yes, perhaps an interaction between Vista and LO and printer driver, but, I
guess I'm not alone in world to have this configuration. :wink:

I think this little "problem" will be solved with future versions...
