Issue 80588 (see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80588) is very
similar to this one (though I definitely like to print only one sheet -
therefore this is NOT to discussion). I describe there a way of *refactoring the
print dialog*.

I would therefore suggest to close this issue as a double of issue 80588.

See also the solution proposed in the attachment to that issue (see
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/47468/Calc_Printer_DLG-Options-new.jpg).
I can elaborate further, why I decided that particular design.

Basically, the 'Print-Dialog' should be split into functional domains:
 1.) buttons and options that are used frequently
 2.) buttons that are almost never used

The 'Help'-button is almost never used, so it can be moved to an area where one
only rarely gets with the mouse (please also note, that I and many users
extensively use the Mouse-autoposition feature, therefore, that right-upper
corner is really NOT in the common mouse path).

IF one later decides to implement some additional options, there is still enough
room below the 'Help'-button to re-implement an 'Options'-button.

[The 'Printer Options' button should also be rarely used. Unfortunately, this is
not quite always the case, BUT I have a solution here, too. When I find some
time, I will file another issue, to include a drop-down list with printer-pages,
and maybe even a button with Color-vs-BW printing.]

I will elaborate on further design details later on.
