Description

In QGIS 3.2 (and 3.0) it is not possible to print with a page size of DIN-A3 with a landscape orientation.
It will always print in a custom paper format, although the "Page properties" and also the "Page Setup" are correctly set!
We are located in Germany and therefor German Operating System with German printer drivers are used.
QGIS 3.x always resets the "Page Setup" to the custom paper format ("Bdf.Format").

It looks like it has something to do with the landscape orientation, because printing in DIN-A3 with Portrait Orientation works fine.

History

#1 Updated by Thomas HG almost 6 years ago

We have the same problem here.
Our company is also located in Germany and we also can't print DIN A3 landscape.
So in our company we still have to use QGIS 2.18.

Not being able to print is pretty annoying using QGIS in a company environment.

I hope this will be fixed soon especially this bug exists since QGIS Version 3.0.0.

#2 Updated by Thomas HG almost 6 years ago

OK, after some testing it seems that printing in landscape does not work at all.
At least for page size in DIN format (e.g. DIN A4, DIN A3, DIN A2, DIN A1).

All printers tested request custom paper format.
