Description p92 2010-01-11 18:54:53 UTC
Version:           0.9.4 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I am trying to print a pdf file landscape oriented. It shows up correctly in okular but prints in portrait regardless of my printer options.

The same pdf printed with xpdf is correctly printed in landscape without touching printer options (xpdf uses lpr to print).

You can check in the attached cups error log (created when hpijs crashes) the options passed by okular to cups.

My printer is a HP deskjet 970cxi.

Comment 3 Ferdinand Gassauer 2010-04-07 15:47:10 UTC
I can confirm this problem 
okular Version 0.10.2
KDE 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) "release 234" - OpenSuSE 11.2
libqt4-4.6.2-107.1.x86_64
cups 1.3.11-4.5.1

IIRC it was mentioned somewhere that this problem should be fixed with qt4 4.6 ?

Same here on debian testing (kde 4.4.5, okular 0.10.5, CUPS 1.4.4). I'm printing to HP CM2320fxi printer. Acrobat reader prints landscape pages to the same printer without problems.

Could you check if this is bug #181290 ?
If so, you can just set it to portrait in the printing dialog and it will print fine.

to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222258#c5
So how does a user know if okular rotates because of the relation width to hight or because of embedded rotate info ?
this is trial and error - not really suitable for business use - 
unfortunatly the only way to avoid stress with printing - especially large and mixed  documents - is setting acroread or evince as default app for pdf files.
IMHO at least the distro should do this until it's fixed.
(I am on OpenSuSE 11.3 , KDE 4.5.2 and QT 4.7 ...)
