Scaling print output

users
#1

Hello,
Having used Staroffice/Openoffice/LibreOffice for years, I seem to remember that there
was a possibility to scale print output. E.g., I want to print a Calc table in landscape format.
In "normal" mode it prints everything except the last column to the right on page 1 and
then that last column on an extra page 2. I want to scale the printout such that everything
is printed on just ONE page. Is this possible in version 6.0.6.2 (Linux Mint 19.1) ? Or do I
have to use a smaller font and smaller margins such that everything gets printed on page 1?
Regards

Hi.
If I go File>Print preview I get a little slider in the top bar that does what I think you want.

I think the options on Format > Page > "Sheet" tab should do what you want. Set "Scaling mode" to "Fit print range(s) on number of pages", and set "Number of pages" to "1".
