Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: booklet printing problem

I use Ubuntu and almost every time there is a "printer package" upgrade, 
like CUPS, I have to reinstall some of my printers again to get them to 
work properly again.

I do not use the Adobe Reader on Linux.  So I do not have its issue of 
margin changes.  I do a lot of printing to CUPS-PDF or doPDF [Windows] 
and then printing it out to the paper printers. I use that or Export to 
PDF for LO as well.  When printing a PDF file for brochures and other 
formatted page like that, I must make sure the "shrink to page" or "fit 
to page" option on my paper printer driver is turned off.  That will 
stop the extra margins from being added.

I have 3 duplex printers, but my laser printer does not do well with 
more than a 2 page sheet for duplexing, so I do the manual duplexing a 
lot of times.
