Basic code doing the printing

The following basic code is accepted, but the document printed has the wrong
orientation. Changing the "PaperOrientation" from LANDSCAPE to PORTRAIT and
vice versa has no effect on the printout.

' ---- select the printer
        PrinterProp(0).name = "Name"
        PrinterProp(0).value = "Epson-LX-300+"
        Papersize.Width  = 19500
        Papersize.Height = 15500
        PrinterProp(1).name = "PaperSize"
        PrinterProp(1).value = Papersize
        PrinterProp(2).name = "PaperOrientation"
        PrinterProp(2).value = com.sun.star.view.PaperOrientation.LANDSCAPE
        odoc.setPrinter(PrinterProp())

Maybe simply the size doesn't match to
paper-size:        custom.195x152mm

19500/100 = 19,5 <> 195
15500/100 = 15,5 <> 152

Did you try to use cups-pdf?
Is the generated PDF similar as printing document?

My Cups setup:

Description:    Epson-LX-300+
Location:       Despatch
Device-URI:     parallel:/dev/epson
Make & Model:   Epson LX-300+ Foomatic/epson

and under Job-Options:
Orientation:    Portrait (no rotation)
..
Characters per inch:   12.0
Lines per inch:         8.0
...
print-color-mode:  monochrome
paper-size:        custom.195x152mm

Notes:
The Device-URI is a symbolic link to /dev/usb/lp0 made by udev
Make & Model: CUPS offers 2 drivers, both produce the identical result.
Orientation - changing from Portrait to Landscape has no effect on the output.

And the output has been all the time 90 degree anti-clockwise.

Thank you for your attention

No. did not try to use cups-pdf.
I generated a standard odt file in Writer and tried to print from BASIC.
The printer is an old Epson 9-pin dot-matrix. I will send you the cups
declaration as soon as i am back at work. Thanks for your attention!

So try it before.
Understand that people here have not all printers in the world to test.

If the problem still occurs, provide a sample document with this script.

Cups specification of the Epson LX-300+ printer on parallel port (via usb to
parallel converter)
A CUPS blog suggests that there is a OO-issue with the CUPS API

My OS: LUbuntu 17.04 64-bit
CUPS v. 2.2.2 (Lubuntu 17.04 standard)

The problem can be circumvented by adding the (old) Dot-matrix printer as a raw
printer, generate an ASCII text file and printing it. That works.

Maybe simply the size doesn't match to
paper-size:        custom.195x152mm

Only

15500/100 = 155 <> 152

is correct but maybe the reason for this issue?
