Tools->Options from LibreOffice showing PDF printing control
We would very much like to upgrade from OpenOffice 3.2.1 to something newer.
Unfortunately, newer versions all have critical issues on our systems with the
new print dialog and also PDF printing (which is the topic of other reports,
not this one).
3.4.1 has fixed enough of the issues since 3.2.1 that we could actually use it,
but only if we use PS (postscript) printing instead of the newer PDF printing.
It is not practical that we try to rely on users to manually change to PS for
every new document, so we are seeking an option that would allow the user or
sysadmin to set it as the default for all new documents.
Ironically, LibreOffice has such an option, and I am attaching a screenshot of
it. But we can't use LO, since they have even more critical bugs than 3.4.1
(so we have been "trapped").
Even a way to set the default without it being tools-> options would be
acceptable- such as an environment variable or a config file.
I am not sure if this would be considered an "issue type" of "defect" or
"enhancement". It is an enhancement, but only as a workaround for existing
defects.
