Description: I have a label template saved as a document template with database address fields as a single label as its for a zebra printer with labels on a roll. When I print I get the dialog "Your document contains address database fields. Do you want to print a form letter?" If I click yes I can select the database entries I want, and a print window is opened. But the printer is not the label printer that is the default printer in the label template, and is a the last a4 printer used. The label text is 90 degrees wrong in the preview, and selecting the label printer does not correct the text in the preview and it prints out 90 degrees wrong as well. If instead of printing I output to file, the file has the same problem of having the wrong printer and again if I change in the printer window the layout is still 90 degrees wrong. But if I set the default printer for the document to the label printer and save and then reopen it prints to the label printer and save it and open it again it prints straight away correctly. This is the same if for an example an A3 printer is set as default printer for the label document template, when the labels are generated the same incorrect printer is used. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a letter/label template with database fields and set a default printer 2.print document as a form letter and choose database entries 3. Actual Results: created document/label has wrong default printer and changing to the correct one does not correct the formatting. Expected Results: document/labels should be created with same default printer as the template document Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.2.7.1 Build ID: 23edc44b61b830b7d749943e020e96f5a7df63bf CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

@Duncan: Do you have the options "Load user-specific settings with document" and/or "Load printer settings from document" activated, under Preferences > Load/Save > General ? Does playing with these settings make any difference ? I observe that when I open the test document template in Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: f7bc0204a80a4f078c63f93b9892904686ad5b36 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded and explore the Default Style settings - the first tab "Organizer" indicates "3.45cm + [from printer settings]" - the second tab "Page" indicates "Paper Tray" as [from printer settings]" When I go to print, if I ignore the mailmerge print dialog, then I see a preview of the document with the fields rotated 90° as you have reported, with a default selected printer being my default printer for the machine I'm working from. Confirming the rotation in the preview. Also confirming that an attempted print out tries to force A6 page size on my default printer, but even allowing for printing to a different cassette (I don't have an y A6 stock) then the print out is rotated by 90°.
Hi Gabor, since you fixed bug 39742 and bug 44786, I thought you might be interested in this issue...

I have tried on a Windows pc with libre office 6.3.2.2 with and without load user-specific and load printer settings and the result is again the mail merged output ignores the set printer and uses the default A4 one. I didn't test the other behaviour about rotation as did it with a new test A4 form letter and set printer to pdf printer, but result was the same with mail merged document printer always being the installed A4 printer.
Setting to ALL then
Dear Duncan Bellamy, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
