Hi Helge,

Yes, that is the mystery. For example, my envelope documents have been setup for years in #10 envelope format with the landscape orientation. I've never had any problem printing them in landscape format until I started using the latest version of Vector Linux (4 months ago) which now uses the system-config-printer 1.3.2 tool to configure my printer. Previously, I used the CUPS Web Interface to configure my printer.

I've checked and rechecked my LibreOffice and system-config-printer 1.3.2/CUPS settings and tried different options. Currently, my  system-config-printer 1.3.2 settings are:

    Printer Options:  media size = letter; printout mode = normal grayscale
    Job Options:  orientation = automatic rotation;

Sincerely,

Ryker
