Trying to learn a bit about Linux, as well as solve a printing issue with LO in Linux Mint 17.3. The printer is a Samsung CLP-315 color laser.

When printing a spreadsheet, and selecting landscape, LO prints landscape, but to paper that is still portrait. Sort of like this...

The dots represent the data that is trying to be printed.

If I set the paper to portrait, this is the result. All the data is printed.

My suspicion is the printer driver, but I would like to install the current Linux stable version. Mint installs 5.0.3.2, which is the current version in the repository, from what I can see.

I know it's somewhat apples to oranges, but the same spreadsheet works fine on my Mac with the current version of LO.

Once I've downloaded the current version, where to I go from there?

Hi Ken,
There any many versions of Linux, just look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions to see. If you are wishing to stay with Mint, then take a look at their home page. There plenty are of good options and you will find that people have their preferences and tend to stay with them. I use MX-Linux, which is based on Debian, like MInt, and is a mid sized but very stable operating system. MX has LO built in.

Where you setting your portrait/landscape option, in LO?

Gordon.
