There is some work around in Libre Office, Gimp etc. I’m sorry to reply, -this is a long going problem despite printer. I only add stuff with YaST and accept every update that it wants to do. The people I’ve been working with at Google support seem to have lost interest in helping as soon as I found out that it worked the same in Firefox. Somehow, Sheet files are sending a message to the oS printing system that tells to print correctly while anything else doesn’t get that landscape flag triggered. Logically, it seems like it’s a communication problem between the browsers and oS’s printing system. Printing anything landscape from Chrome or Firefox will force it into portrait, except for Google Drive Sheet files where the extra option will tell something to do it right. So, printing locally prints landscape just as it’s suppose to. Libreoffice, Okular, GIMP, everything prints just exactly in the orientation I tell it. The weird thing is that if I print any local file from a Linux app to the local printer in landscape. So, it’s telling me that it’s not specific to Drive files or Chrome. I then tried Firefox and found it worked exactly the same - it won’t print anything in landscape, even if it is landscape. To let you know this all used to work just fine with oS 12.3 and 13.1 for a very long time. The way we have it setup is through Google Cloud Print to my local HP 7510. BTW, my wife’s Chromebook uses the shared printer on this desktop too and also won’t print landscape when it’s suppose to. So, it started to look like a Chrome browser problem. This is true using Chrome’s dialog or using the alternate Shift+Ctrl+P and passing to my oS 13.1 print dialog. Then I noticed that I can print anything from Chrome in landscape. I remember that they all used to have that option, but now only Sheet files have that for printing and they print landscape just fine. That is except for Sheet files they print fine because the Print dialog box has extra options to select Landscape or Portrait. Docs created in landscape would only print portrait with the right cut off. I first thought it was related to the Google Drive documents we were printing. It seems that sometime in the past couple of months we could no longer print landscape documents from Chrome. Looking to reassess and make sure the device is right sized to the environment and I was also considering vendor change, but that may not be wo.I have a strange one that I’ve been working with Google on. XG230 on site last renewal is in March, then it's 12 months to end of life.Direct upgrade is XGS23000 i think.
