The bug in auto-orientation I reported in August 2005 in the Windows forum still seems to exist at least in OS/2 version 3.23. When printing several files at once, the orientation remains portrait although some of the files are landscape. This results in only the (left) portion of a horizontal picture that fit in the width of the vertical sheet being printed, while the bottom portion of the sheet is left blank.
To replicate: File open - choose two files, the first portrait and the second landscape, using ctrl - left click - right click on the second file - choose print - image size: fit pixels - page orientation:automatic - unit:mm - gamma 1.00 I've been avoiding the issue by copying the photographs I want to print into two temporary folders, and printing them from there, but this is obviously not a very elegant solution... |

This bug was reported for the Windows version, and fixed for the Windows version only.
I just checked the OS/2 code and it doesn't have the same bug that the Windows version had. However, there is an explanation for the incorrect behavior. This would happen if the printer driver function DjpNewFrame is not respecting the orientation update... I need to test this.

Quite some coincidence! The symptoms were identical with the Windows version so I thought it was the same bug.
If it helps, I usually use a HP Business Inkjet 2600 with the latest postscript driver. I'll try another printer when I have the time. |
