Description arne anka 2009-07-18 13:35:29 UTC
Version:           0.8.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29.4

i've got 4 pages to print on one sheet -- and i want the order
1 | 2
-----
3 | 4


selecting order "left to right, top to bottom" sound about right, but prints
3 | 4
-----
1 | 2

chosing "left to right, bottom to top" prints the very same order, no difference at all.

I found a similar issue. I have landscape presentation pages and want them to be printed with 4 pages on a sheet (also landscape). You expect the print order as:

1 | 2
3 | 4

Nevertheless, Okular seems to print by default this order (tested multiple documents):

3 | 1
4 | 2

When the paper is turned counter clockwise the order of the numbers are ok. The same method is used to correct this order. If 1-2-3-4 is rotated clockwise, it looks like:

2 | 4
1 | 3

Which means "Bottom to top, left to right". Printing 4 pages per sheet with bottom to top, left to right results finally in a 4 pages per sheet layout which is correct (Okular 0.10.2, KDE 4.4.2)

on Okular 0.19 (KDE Applications 4.13) and cups 1.7.2 i got the

1 | 2
3 | 4

order you mention so I'm closing this bug.

Please if this bug still happens for you with  Okular >= 0.19 (KDE Applications >= 4.13) and cups >= 1.7.2 please reopen this bug.
