Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Letter page format size prints portrait pages as landscape on OS X

Alex,

Apologies if this has already been answered as I only get the daily digest.

In Canada our standard is letter (8.5" x 11"), legal (8.5" x 14"), 
tabloid (11" x 17").  Because we use the metric system, PCs usually 
default to cm.  This is totally useless since our paper standards are in 
inches.

I haven't had the problem with HP printers but I print to PDF more than 
direct to the printer. PDF production is good.  Perhaps the people with 
this issue should print to pdf first and then open in Preview and print 
the PDF.  I've done this in the past when Acrobat did silly things.

Until today I was using LO 5.3.4. Today I upgraded to 5.4 so we'll see 
if this changes.

B.
