print format problem

Albaton
Started with 2.2.0.2-1build3, I can print but always 90 degrees off.  Switched to the flatpak version  2.2.1.3 (11,11,2011) which only allows saving as a pdf, at least on my install.  Have Version: v2.2.1.3-12-gd1ca469c9 running from a file rather than installed, same problem.  Running on a Dell with Linux OS.
 I've changed the paper orientation in librecad, and changed it at the printer screen.  I've told it to accept changes and to ignore changes. It continues to print as landscape across a portrait page.  My linux go to guy says it sounds like it's sending to the printer as an IPP, internet print protocol.  Printer is a brother MFC J6955W on tabloid size sheets.  Printer driver is Brother for Linux.  I've even redone my drawing on a portrait page layout, with the same results.

Can you print to PDF to troubleshoot?

I remember seeing similar, and it was a printer driver thing, so limited to all Qt apps, not only LibreCAD.

Librecad is the only QT app I have.  The flatpak version is the only one that saves in pdf format.  They print correctly as a pdf, but lines are weak.  Sounds like my Linux guy is right.

Thanks

you can also try our latest master branch or stable builds. Master branch is on Qt6, and stable branch is on Qt5. It's possible that the issue is limitted to some particular Qt versions.
