Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO Writer insists on printing landscape.

Are we making a list of OS and printers for the "bug"?

I use Ubuntu [64-bit] 14.04 and 16.04.
Rarely use Windows 10, though.

Have had printing issues since 5.1.3 through 5.3.6 [currently in use]

The printers I have had printing issues with, over the years, are;

HP Laserjet 2300dn
Canon Pixma MG6220
Canon Pixma MG5420
Canon Pixma TS9020

i.e. all my printers I currently have except one - the HP Officejet 7000 
wide format printer.
