Can't print documents in portrait format
Hello,
I am trying to print documents, but always print in landscape, and I select portrait mode. The desktop environment is GNOME.
The documents are PDF.
Where is the particular cups configuration?. Can I modify any config file in /etc/cups?.
I have tried different printers.
How can I solve this?.
Best regards.

Re: Can't print documents in portrait format
That's typically not a "cups configuration" (except for defaults, http://localhost:631), but a client provided switch - iow: print from what application?
Also: is the document landscape'd?

I have printed the PDF from evince and libreoffice with original document. The result is equal. Print in landscape.
The documents aren't landscaped.
Regards.

Re: Can't print documents in portrait format
Does it default to portrait?
Did you try printing with lp/lpr?
Either the printer/driver "misinterprets" the orientation flag or the gtk printing GUI is broken (eg. might falsely assume a portrait default and not issue any option for the case)

Hi,
the default is portrait. I have tried with lp/lpr and the result is the same, prints in landscape.

Re: Can't print documents in portrait format
Likely a printer/ppd/filter problem then, so details on the actual setup (printer model and used ppd) would be required for further investigation.
