--- Comment #3 from indi4ever <tshop at wildwoodcanyon.net> ---
I have this same problem. The error (unwanted change) occurs when trying to set
"print on both sides" when Writer is set for brochure printing. It does not
happen otherwise. The dialog box is supplied by the printer driver. When the
option to print on both sides is selected another option for page turning is
presented. Various printer drivers label these options differently, but the
effect is to either "flip up" or "flip sideways," or "turn-up," or
"turn-sideways."  In order to have a correctly printed book "turn-sideways," or
"flip-sideways" etc. needs to be selected. Otherwise some of the pages are
printed upside down when assembling the brochure (booklet).

For some reason, Writer ALWAYS sets the selection to "flip-up" or "Turn-up" if
printing on both sides of the page when brochure printing. If you select
"flip-up" it stays that way, if you select "flip-sideways" it gets changed to
"flip-up." The change occurs after the printer driver hands control back to
Writer (You can check this by reopening the printer settings dialog box after
you "save" settings and go back to writer's printer dialog box).

Actual Results:
upside down pages on half of brochure

Expected Results:
all pages up, with none upside down


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Per Henschel:
Which printer do you use? HP 400 Color Laser Printer and HP OfficeJet Pro 8720

Is the printing correct, if you use double-sided but not brochure? Yes

Which operating system?  Windows 7 Ultimate

Is the setting "Use only paper size form printer preferences" enabled or not?
Does not matter. Incorrect no matter the setting.

Which paper size has the printer, which page size has the document? 8x11 for
both.

If you are unfamiliar with brochure printing: Brochure printing takes a
document normally designed for portrait A4 or 8x11 printing and prints the
document in landscape mode with (usually) two pages (placed in two columns) per
sheet. If you print many pages, it will print on both sides (if the printer can
handle this) so that an assembled brochure will be in booklet format (i.e. like
a little book).
