Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2018-03-01 10:09:23 CET 
We had a support q from a user that had problems with their print jobs to thinlocal. He tried to print a document in landscape format, and the printed document looked like this:

> +--------------+
> |              |
> |              |
> |+------------+|
> ||            ||

> ||            ||
> |+------------+|
> |              |
> |              |
> +--------------+

Expected:

Duplicate/sub-bug of bug 4979?

I did the following tests of printing a text document
in landscape over thinlocal.

- In a ThinLinc linux session create a text document using gedit,
  print to thinlocal selecting landscape orientation works
  as expected using both linux and windows client.

- In a ThinLinc  windesk session create a text notepad document,
  print to thinlocal selecting landscape works only with linux client.
  Using windows client the result is as reported by this bug.

Seems like windows print backend (poppler) and rdesktop doesn't play
well with each other...

Since this only seems to happen in rdesktop we will assume this is a bug there, and not in thinlinc.
