This is a duplicate of Bug 48951 and NotABug. But let me convert it to enhancement request to have Options / LibreOffice Writer / Print / Print automatically inserted blank pages turned off by default. Hi Timur. Sorry, I have just realised that you have highlighted there are actually three related reports... "bug 48951", "bug 134723", and "bug 138957". I have just mistakenly added a comment to 134723 thinking that it was my report! I will avoid repeating my comment here, but in summary I don't think that your enhancement request is appropriate. See this comment for my reasoning... https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134723#c3 (In reply to Timur from comment #1) > This is a duplicate of Bug 48951 and NotABug. > But let me convert it to enhancement request to have Options / LibreOffice > Writer / Print / Print automatically inserted blank pages turned off by > default. I created an account to file this as a bug as I've now been running into it repeatedly for several months, but found it already open here so I'll comment here: In the case of labels at least, "print automatically inserted blank pages" is not a behaviour anyone would ever want. It's nothing but a sharp edge for users who have to go and find a setting - worse, you have to turn it off *every time* you print a new document of labels. I can see the argument that turning the setting off affects other use cases outside labels, but for labels it should always be turned off. I can see a few ways of doing it: 1. Detect/declare whether a document consists of labels, turn the setting off by default in that case. 2. Fix the problem earlier in the chain by modifying the label-producing code to alternate left and right pages (I understand this is the root cause of the issue). I don't really see how this is 'not a bug' - it may be an intended part of the overall design, but if you look at it only from the point of view of producing labels, inserting always-unwanted blank pages that need to be turned off looks like a bug to me. User can change setting/turn it off, so that's not a bug. But many are not aware and it's annoying, so this enhancement. No matter how we call it, it needs a dev to do it - even if seems like easy hack. |
