Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 2.0.2-2
Severity: normal


1) Create blank text document
2) Use Format|Page and change Format to "Env. #10"
3) Change to Landscape (else you have a tall narrow envelope instead of 
a short wide envelope that is typically used)
4) Enter some text
5) Attempt to print

Result: Printer spits out a blank page after making printing noises for 
one line (however ink is fine since the workaround described below 
works).

On checking the "Printer Settings", OO.o has set the page type to 
"Commercial 10".  This appears to occur when on printing as checking the 
printer settings prior to printing for the first time reveals a paper 
size of "Letter".

Workaround:

Use a 'user' Format with width and height which don't match any 
predefined paper types, and set margins to compensate.  This results in 
the paper size in printer settings staying at Letter, and prints 
correctly.

This error occurs with stable's cups as well as cups 1.1.23-15 on an HP 
DeskJet 540 (old PCL inkjet printer).  I use pure cups and gimpprint 
drivers (no foomatic).

This is probably not debian-specific as I have noted similar behaviour 
in OO.o 1.1 on Windows (though it may have been those fixes which have 
broken OO.o 2 on Debian; I'm not sure as I haven't used windows much 
for a long time).

It works. The paper size in printer settings is correct and sample text
I used prints.
