Can be related to CUPS update. I think I had driver "Brother DCP-T520W, driverless, 1.8" before, now it's "2.0". Printing from GIMP and Firefox seems fine. I'm having the same issue since I last updated my system (Manjaro). It was a large update, many KDE components and also all CUPS related components (cups and filters, ppd). My Canon Pixma drivers were not updated but I reinstalled them and removed/readded the printer. No good. Printing with 'lp', Libreoffice Writer, Gimp, all ok. Last week I was sure I was having the same issue printing PDFs from Okular, but I tried it now and seems ok. Gwenview definitely has this issue, printing 'landscape layout' images. I updated Gwenview to 23.08.3-2 but the problem remains. But it's interesting to notice that, although Okular prints PDFs correctly, it prints images incorrectly just like Gwenview. I was able to confirm the misbehavior when printing from Gwenview, version 23.08.4. Printing from Chrome and Gimp are working fine. Below is my system information: Kernel: 6.6.10-1-MANJARO Uptime: 1 hour, 16 mins Packages: 1318 (pacman), 10 (flatpak), 6 (snap) Shell: bash 5.2.21 Resolution: 2560x1440 DE: Plasma 5.27.10 WM: KWin Theme: [Plasma], Breeze [GTK2/3] Icons: [Plasma], breeze [GTK2/3] Terminal: yakuake CPU: Intel i7-4790K (8) @ 4.400GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Memory: 4404MiB / 32042MiB Same issue for me, Landscape printing is broken in all KDE applications, other programs are fine. This isn't a good look for KDE as minor bugs are understandable, while broken basic functionality isn't and some sort of unit testing/quality assurance is required. System info is as follows and as you can see it has been 7 months since this bug has been reported and countless updates: Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 KDE Applications Version: 24.05.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kernel Version: 6.9.3-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 32 × AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Product Name: X570 AORUS XTREME System Version: -CF I'm having the same issue on : Operating System: Gentoo Linux 2.15 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.3-gentoo-dist (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 27.2 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 780M I wonder if it could be a Qt bug, affecting KDE? I'm also having this issue. It seems gwenview forgets to rotate the image 90 degree to have the long side vertically for actual printers (printing to pdf works, as there it "rotates" by changing the page format to be "horizontal-A4"). Additionally, printing images that are more wide than high default to printing in landscape mode. In my opinion, it would be nice if that could be disabled somehow, or at least make the orientation part of the print dialog itself (instead of hidden behind the printer settings) like firefox's print dialog to not be surprized by this automatic choice. *** Bug 503407 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since this seems to be isolated to the printing features in KDE applications only, and since KDE applications in turn use Qt-provided printing components, this has been reported as an upstream bug in Qt: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-136451 Thanks! This may have been fixed by https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/a77173486aaf9d2e4107f6e1120ac2316ae1c96f on 18 February 2025. I don't know whether that commit has made it into a qt6-qtbase release. A different fix is proposed (not committed) in the QT bug, but the QT bug report itself seems to be getting little developer attention. |
