Ubuntu – OpenOfficeOrg Calc always prints in Landscape mode

openoffice.orgprinting

So for some strange reason today anything I print in OpenOffice Calc comes out in Landscape mode.

I have tried the following:

Set the print job from OO Calc to portrait (prints out in landscape)
Tried opening a brand new file which by default is set to portrait (prints out in landscape)
Setting the default printer job orientation to portrait (prints out in landscape)
Print from gedit in portrait mode (prints out in portrait)

Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

I'm using LibreOffice, so things might be slightly different, but I've had this problem before with Calc. Go to the "Format" menu, then click on "Page". You'll find a setting for orientation on the "Page" tab. Set it to Landscape, then do the same for your printer settings.

You probably have the wrong driver. Install a different one by going to: Administration > Hardware > Printing. Try all drivers from Epson, one of those should do the job.

We had the same problem with a Zebra Z4MPLUS printer using the PPD file from Zebra. The PPD file had 8.00x4.00" as a label size but that did not work for us. Using Custom 4x8in also did not work. We had to create a 4.00x8.00" label size in the PPD file and then select it in Cups. We did this by editing a 4.00x13.00" label size in the PPD which we knew we wouldn't need. Here is a diff original.ppd edited.ppd
