Bug#536851: openoffice.org-writer: Cannot print on custom paper size
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:3.1.0-5
Severity: normal
OpenOffice.org Writer will create a document intended for a custom paper
size (in my case, half letter size, 5.5in by 8.5in). However, as far as
I can tell, Writer cannot *print* to this size of paper. It offers a
wide range of sizes, which do not include half-letter and do not allow
custom sizes.
I don't know whether the fault lies with OOo, CUPS, or the HP PPDs for
my printer. I do know that I cannot seem to find a working solution.
