Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing with HP 960C Deskjet

Hi :)
2 approaches to fix this, i've not thought about which should be number 1 

1.  To use the LO dialogues ...  When the printer dialogue-box pops-up note there are 4 tabs at the 
top.  On the 1st tab you should see a list of all the printers installed.  Select the Hp 960 but 
instead of printing click on the "Properties" button.  It's just under the list.  The "Properties" 
pop-up also has a couple of tabs.  The 1st should be "Paper".  Duplex is about the 4h drop-down.  
Long-edge for Portrait but Short-edge for landscape.  My boss can never figure out that short-edge 
refers to the shortest edge of the paper, or perhaps he is just being kind.  

2.  To change to normal dialogues ... 
LibreOffice - Preferences - General - "Print dialogues" - UNtick the tick-box that says "Use LO 
dialogues".  

Errr, are you sure that duplex is installed?  When you install the driver it should ask you if you 
want duplex to be included.  It might do it automatically.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
