            Bug ID: 128496
           Summary: Printing a "form letter" with database fields ignores
                    document print settings and tries to print with
                    "default printer?"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.7.1 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export

Description:
I have a label template saved as a document template with database address
fields as a single label as its for a zebra printer with labels on a roll. 
When I print I get the dialog "Your document contains address database fields.
Do you want to print a form letter?" If I click yes I can select the database
entries I want, and a print window is opened.  But the printer is not the label
printer that is the default printer in the label template, and is a the last a4
printer used.  The label text is 90 degrees wrong in the preview, and selecting
the label printer does not correct the text in the preview and it prints out 90
degrees wrong as well.

If instead of printing I output to file, the file has the same problem of
having the wrong printer and again if I change in the printer window the layout
is still 90 degrees wrong.  But if I set the default printer for the document
to the label printer and save and then reopen it prints to the label printer
and save it and open it again it prints straight away correctly.

This is the same if for an example an A3 printer is set as default printer for
the label document template, when the labels are generated the same incorrect
printer is used.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a letter/label template with database fields and set a default printer 
2.print document as a form letter and choose database entries
3.

Actual Results:
created document/label has wrong default printer and changing to the correct
one does not correct the formatting.

Expected Results:
document/labels should be created with same default printer as the template
document


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
