In the Printer Properties dialogue box, 2-up printing is shown as placing the second page BELOW the first, even though in the hardcopy the second page is TO THE RIGHT of the first page (which is what I think most users will want). Changing the Orientation between Portrait and Landscape changes the orientation of the page shown in the dialogue box but seems to make no difference to the relative positions the two pages and no difference to either the orientation or page positions of the hardcopy. My printer is a Brother DCP-L2540DW, with the driver downloaded from the Brother website: apologies if this is a printer driver problem. Thanks and regards KDE Neon 5.8.8
I am not sure I understood fully what the main point of this bug is and it would be nice if you could clarify that a bit. Do you mean the following two things? 1) When switching between portrait and landscape, the arrangement ("above/below" as compared to "next to each other") should change in the "preview" 2) selected orientation has no effect at all for the actual printout When testing a bit, I also realized that the selected orientation does have an effect, when "force rasterisation" is selected in the "Options" -> "PDF Options" tab of the print dialog. In general, the alignment of the pages itself ("above/below", "next to") is comparable to Kate for example in this case (which might be what Qt does "by itself" for the n-up-printing option). Okular does some things "on its own" for printing and the behaviour in some respects is closer to what Qt does "by default" when the "force rasterisation" option is checked.

That's because in that case QPrinter is used for printing, rather than the usual conversion to postscript and printing with lpr.
