This does not sound like a problem with Libreoffice , but your printer
drivers. Try printing from another application installed on the system.

Hi,

did you try to first export to PDF and then print this PDF with acrobat or some
other pdf printer? It sometimes can work better than printing directly.

I use CUPS-PDF and it makes landscape go "side-ways" for printing on a portrait page.

Hi :slight_smile:
Congrats!!  The thread there was quite interesting.  I'm sure we had this question asked here not so long ago and they found post-script worked better.  I think they didn't find the better way of keeping .ps as the default format though.  I think they used a template method.  It was interesting to hear it wasn't just a openSUSE problem but doesn't seem to affect all OSes. 
Congrats and regards from

BTW ... the fix for the same problem on Samsung and other printers is to install the opensource SpliX driver (it may be in the various linux repositories). The driver is for any printer making use of the Samsung Printer Language (SPL), some of which include printer made from: Samsung, Xerox, Dell, Toshiba ...

Once installed it fixes the problems with landscape printing.

Cheers,

I think you will find that the problem is not with LibreOffice, but with the printer settings with your Linux distro (OpenSuse). You need to go into your printer setup and make sure that you have chosen the right preferences and the right driver. If your printer uses SPL (Samsung Printer Language), then you may want to try the SpliX driver to see if this will fix the problem.

As you say in your message, it will be nice to know how you fixed this. Thanks for doing this.

Cheers,

Marc

Maybe the problem is solved with opensuse 12.2 - which an article announced that it was out now.

For some reason, each time I post this solution, the post never gets
through... so I'll try one more time:
