As of today when I try to print in landscape mode from LibreOffice it only outputs in Portrait mode. I’ve been using this app for years and never had this problem. Maybe it’s from a recent update? For the record, I’m using `libreoffice-fresh.` Does anyone else have this problem recently? I’ve looked at the github and found nothing. ---

I should have tried this first, but I output a LibreOffice writer file to PDF and printed it from Okular and it still is printing incorrectly. Just like from LibreOffice it appears on screen as a landscape document, but prints incorrectly. FWIW, when I try to print a Test Page from the printer I get this error message in the Print Queue: `Status: Stopped, cfFilterChain: pdftopdf (PID 1859) stopped with status 1` So maybe this is a printer problem? I’m not sure how to diagnose this, any ideas? Also, same printer, same computer, different OS (W11) = no problem ---

I had the same problem yesterday on EndeavourOS. LibreOffice and Okular wouldn’t print in landscape mode. I then switched to Debian and printed the PDF there, and there were no problems at all. Why? I have no idea. That doesn’t really help you right now, but at least you know that the problem ---

> [@jc1685](#): > > Status: Stopped, cfFilterChain: pdftopdf (PID 1859) stopped with status 1 A few days ago there was an update of `libcupsfilters` to version `2.2.1-2`. You might try downgrading to version `2.1.1-4`: `sudo downgrade libcupsfilters` This solution worked for another user: > **[Both network printing and usb printing broken](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/both-network-printing-and-usb-printing-broken/189865/15)** > > I have sorted it one program was missing ghostscript and one program needed to be downgraded libcupsfilters from 2.2.1-2 to 2.1.1-4 now it prints. ---

Thanks, downgrading libscupfilers solved everything. I’m sure there will be an update soon that will allow me to run the newest version. Thanks for helping! ---
