I didn't expect this kind of answer tbh :o) I was more looking for ideas how to improve status quo. Anyway -- I looked more closely at how print dialog in my (K)DE looks like and it's kinda slim, minimalistic, yet very usable. But then again, I'm a home user. I can imagine that a company printing several hundred pages of business correspondence per day or, dunno, a school printing their own brochures would be very unhappy about feature loss if LibO switched to platform default dialogs. > In LO 3.4ish, we moved from using LO's internal file management dialogs > to the OS's, so why didnt we do the same with the print dialog?
