[Bug 121878] New: Documents with custom page sizes default to
standard page sizes e.g A4
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121878
Bug ID: 121878
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Documents with custom page sizes default to standard
page sizes e.g A4
Classification: Application
Product: Writer
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: printing

Document with 8.5" x 5.5" page size
I have odt documnents created in OO 3.2.1 that have a 'custom' page size of
8.5" x 5.5" - in the "new" print (with mini preview) interface they always
revert to A4 (or the last used standard page size). If I go into the printer
(Cannon MG6250) properties and reinstate the custom size, it is "forgotten" as
soon as I try and print again.
My only solution after much head scratching and cursing is to reinstall 3.2.1
and everything then works as it should.
I am sure that this fault originated in the release of OO 3.3 with the much
heralded "New Easier to Use Print Interface" - so rather surprised it is still
not fixed. Anyone that has to produce copy for specific but non "standard" page
sizes will have an insurmountable problem. For that reason I have tagged this
as a 'major' bug.

> Rev. 1400866
Hi, thanks for looking at this - I should have added that the problem does NOT
occur when printing to PDF, only when printing to paper via printer. The same
problem was experienced with my previous printer (Cannon MP640) so not specific
to my current model, although maybe to Cannon W7 print drivers?
I have only printed to PDF from the internal OO PDF printer though, not through
a 3rd party PDF driver.
The problem exhibits in the print preview window in the "new" OO print
dialogue, which shows the paper size that will be used.
I cannot find the PrimoPDF attachment mentioned by the way?

Bug 113562 comment 12 and Bug 117267 comment 12 seems to indicate that when the
user defined paper size is not advertised by the printer, OpenOffice tries to
match the user defined paper size with one of the paper sizes the printer does
advertise.
nigelharpur says in the bug description that he sets the custom size on the
printer, so it seems a different bug.
@nigelharpur : is your printer advertising the custom paper size to other
applications?

I used a ruler to measure the document on screen as I have no access to a
physical printer.
Sorry for being inaccurate in my measurement - I reopen the bug.

Well, the only other application I have to test this with currently is my
re-installed OO 3.2.1 and all works perfectly with that. I do have MS WordPad
as part of W7 so I will try and replicated the situation by saving from OO as a
.doc and opening/printing with WordPad. Will advise.

Dear all that have looked at this; has there been any progress with a fix yet?
Am wanting to go to OO v4 now it's released, but no point if the custom page
size problem is unresolved. Hoping this 'additional comment' does go to all on
the CC list.

Thanks - I really appreciate you taking the time to look into this. If it helps
I just installed LibreOffice 4 and the problem is still present in that too.
It definitely started with the "enhanced" print dialogue introduced in 3.3
3.2.1 has the old dialogue and all is well (with the same physical printers).
Thanks again for reopening.

Thanks for attachment - it is standard A5 size though (5.83" x 8.27") - whereas
it should be 5.5" x 8.5" which is the custom page size in the ODT file.

Wordpad was a no starter - so I downloaded the Portable version of Abiword. It
opened the ODT and displayed it correctly in it's print dialogue as having a
"custom" size of 8.5" x 5.5" - The Cannon printer driver preview pane also
displayed correctly - so yes the printer is definitely advertising the custom
paper size to other applications. Abiword Portable is available here:
