Hplip-3.11.5- printers does not print A5 landscape properly

Do other apps work ok?

I'am the same problem with HP Wireless Photosmart 109.
I may confirm, i have tested this with abiword and inskape all is ok, only Libre Office failed.
Sorry for my english!

Printing using Libre Office Writer works but it does not recognise the Upper Single Sheet Manual Feed Tray and prints with paper from the Bottom Tray ignoring the manual feed paper. The Bottom Tray is loaded with a stack of A4 paper and the Upper Single Sheet Manual Tray is fed by other off size paper, one sheet at a time.

Any sugesstions ?

Thank you

Do other apps print ok?

Have been able to get Libre Office Writer to recognise and print from the Single Sheet Upper Manual Feed Tray by changing the following setting:-

open Libre Office Writer
Tools > Options > LibreOfficeWriter > Print
tick off the check box under Other > Paper Tray from Printer Setting

and now Libre Office Writer prints from the Upper Printer Tray as well.

The problem with Libre Office Calc is still there.

any suggestions ?

thank you

In my office writer the check box Other>Paper Tray from Printer setting is OFF, and the bug is always here.

Sorry, Calc do'nt have this option.

Other test in my workbook Calc:

Sheet's Format page = A5 Portrait
Printer settings = A5 portrait
Calc prints the sheet like an A4 !! (the Page Foot is printed in bottom of the A4) :(

Later I unsintall LO et re install OO, and I will see !

thank you

Hooray, it works.

As usual the HP printers were not recognised after boot up this morning until the Hplip plug in was re-installed.
Thereafter the A5 print outs came out perfectly.

Perhaps Hplip has been updated - I do not know.

The A5 paper size printing problem has now been solved.

Thank you

Thank you srikumar,

Can you say the version of hplib was installed. In the HP Device Manager Menu Help>About to read the version.

Also , are you with Linux Natty (11.04) and LO 3.3.2?

Thank you for your details....

The details are as follows:-

Hplip 3.11.5
Ubuntu Natty 11.04
Libre Office 3.3.2 (as packaged with Ubuntu 11.04)

I am not quite sure how the problem was solved but A5 paper printing in Libre Calc is OK.

kind regards
srikumar

What happens really ?
For me even re-install hplip the problem is still there.
How you install Hplip 3.11.5 ? with hplip-3.11.5.run or with Synaptic ?
For me I am sure that LO is bad

others suggestions or détails ?

The same problem again this Monday morning - both HP printers not working. Could not even install the plug-in - no response.
Have downloaded the Hplip-3.11.5.run file this morning and installed it over the existing Hplip-3.11.5 installation. Now the HP printers are working again.

for the A5 paper landscape printing - the spreadsheet is set up on the screen as A5 landscape but the A5 paper is physically placed into the printer as A5 portrait - but it prints out sideways as A5 landscape mode!. This way

Hello srikumar,
I agree with your details for print the A5 landscape format.
I don't believe that Hplip was in fault.
For me after install an re-install and re-install and .....of hplp 3.11.5, the problem is still here :(

Here my version of LO, have you really the same?

LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202)
tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5

thank you.

Hello Xavril

My version of LO 3 is the same as yours, as follows:-

LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202)

I have got over the A5 printing problem as stated in #12 and will manage with it.
