Libre Office formatting and print problems affecting all documents
 

I need to formulate a sheet for a rota for 10 people for 6 months. The problem I have is that it must on a single sheet of A4 paper landscape orientation on one side.
I have worked around this and managed to achieve the correct size by reducing the font size. When I try to print each rota the sheet is printed with a left margin of 3.5 cm. Because of this margin the right hand side is cut off by the same amount. I have checked to page set up and have set the document margins to 1.25 cm all round.
If I print a document with a portrait orientation the margin is at the top and the bottom of the document is cut off.
Is this a problem with Libre Office software I have Version: 4.2.8.2
Build ID: 420m0(Build:2) installed and a Brother DCP195C Printer.
I am running Mint 17.2 Qiana
Thanks

Two immediate questions:

. Have you tried printing a document from any other software to determine whether it is LibreOffice or the printer that's causing the problem?

. Are you using LibreOffice Calc or Writer?

Hello
I am using Writer and formulation the rota with a table.
Secondly I have just tried printing a web page and it has the same print problem so it appears to be the printer.
I have reinstalled the drivers and it has made no difference.

Ok. Have a look at this:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic....444767#p444767

It suggests the problem may be a paper size issue, with the Brother defaulting to Letter size and manual page setting not overriding this. Are you attempting to print to A4?

If so, it suggests

to switch the paper size to A4.

You will have to replace PRINTER_NAME with your printer (the example used MFC210C for another model, yours will be similar).

Edit: Sorry, it looks as if what you need to run is:

Hello hydrurga thanks very much not printing correctly
Thanks for your help
I'm glad to have got this sorted as I've dumped M$ and only use Mint for all my work now.

:D I assume you mean "now printing correctly". Great to hear.

:thumbsup:

Sorry yes everything is now printing correctly the way it should
Thanks again

Don't you love how printers always ask us what type of paper we put in it? lol..
