Linux Mint - Printing bug - paper orientation is not respected

Hello

Using linux mint for a week, I face a bug which I don’t face with LO.
Page format is not taken into account when printing.

Here is a test document (but it is the case with any doc in landscape) :
MHF - P3-S3 - Atelier 3 CM1.docx (30.7 KB)

Open it and try to print page 6.
The landscape orientation is not taken into account:

Hello @arcqus

I was not able to find info on the installation type of Desktop Editor on your new OS. Could you please elaborate on this? Is it package installation or, for instance, snap?

Hello
New OS : linux mint 22.1 (last version)
Package : flatpack (from the software center of the distro.

Thanks. May I ask you to also specify type of the printer you are using and driver version for this printer?

My printer is a canon LBP6030 (old but robust laser printer).
The drivers are from canon’s website:

Since you’ve reinstalled the app with deb package - does it also produce this behavior with printing?

Yes unfortunately.

Otherwise, a small remark regarding the .deb setup.
Am I wrong to say that with this kind of setup, dialog boxes are not managed the same and are considered as a new window, not as “the same”:


(I’m not 100% sure of what I say here)

Window manager works differently with package installed apps, so this is expected.

As for the printing: does it happen with this particular file or with any file with landscape page layout?

IMHO it is less user friendly so I might switch back to the package once the other issues are a little clarified.

As mentioned in the first message, this happens with any file. I started this thread with the file I encountered the issue with, then I tried with a random file and got the problem so I added the comment btw brackets.
