Where to look:
-------------
Pressing CTRL+P triggers a print job window. This has an "Options" button, which
triggers "Printer options" window.
What is the problem:
--------------------
The "content" section of this window is named misleadingly: It implies that
different CONTENTS of the presentation are going to be printed.
But actually this section controls which of the four VIEWS can be printed.
Let me explain this:
The contents of the presentation is presented in five different views:
1. Slides only ("Normal")
2. Outline
3. Notes
4. Handout
5. Slide sorter
Out of these, the first four views are printable.
And the section offers check boxes for these four views.
So the section should be named "Views" (not "contents").
"Content" and "views" are two distinct concepts: The real "contents" of a
presentation is (a) slides (b) text inside the slides (c) Notes attached to the
slides. The views merely present this "content" in different combinations and
layouts.
****
The first option "Drawing" is misleading; as it implies that this check box
controls whether to print the graphics/shapes inserted in the slides. It should
be renamed "Normal" (or "Slides"). This name is far more intuitive.
