------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed May 20 22:27:31 +0000 2009 ------- Some people will want collate on as the default... just for convenience. Many people have asked for it, and unfortunately it was given to them in OO 3.0. But many other people will have severe problems with the default being "on", and our business is one of them (as I explained in a previous comment, above). The suggestion about storing the setting per printer is probably not practical, since there is no user interface in OO that addresses saved options on a per-printer basis (unless they want to resurrect the spadmin tool, which is now pretty much dead). Storing such a setting in a document doesn't really make any sense. So the only best remaining way to handle the problem is to make an option in tools->printing that can hold a user's preference for collation: 1) Remember previously used state 2) Always default to off 3) Always default to on 4) Always remain off (and don't show option in print dialog) With the default setting for new installations set to #1 (since that is most logical). That would solve the problem for most people once and for all. Although there should also be a way that a system administrator can set the default for new users, to make the problem absolutely solvable on systems where printers do their own collation all the time (which is most modern laser printers and copiers). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
