Bug ID: 130940
Summary: Defaulter Printer Settings Do Not Save
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

Description: Changing the default printer does not save.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In LibreCalc it is possible to select a default printer.
This feature is helpful because it eliminates the need to
select the desired printer every time the spreadsheet is printed.
When the default printer is changed, the Save Icon on
the top menu bar should change appearance
and should become active so the user can save the change.
However, changing the default printer only affects
the current session and does not prompt the user
to save the change. Instead the Save Icon does not
change appearance and does not allow the user to save changes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
REPRODUCING THE PROBLEM:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Open a new LibreOffice Calc document on a machine having several
printers.
2. Enter "asdf" in Cell A1.
3. Save the file as "Test01.0ds"
4. Go to "File>Printer Settings..." in the Menu.
5. Make note of the Selected Printer.
(In my case it is "Brother HL-L2390DW".)
6. In the drop down select another printer.
(In my case I selected "OneNote")
8. After making the new selection, click the "OK" button.
NOTE: The floppy disk save icon in the menu bar
does not change to indicate a save is necessary
and does not allow the user to save the
printer setting change.
9. Before closing the document. Go to "File>Print..." in the Menu.
NOTE: The newly selected printer shows as the default
in the dialogue box.
10. Click the "Cancel" button.
11. Close the document by clicking the "X" in the upper right of the window.
12. Re-open the document "Test01.ods".
13. Go the "File>Printer Settings..."
NOTE: The original default printer is shown and
changes were not saved.
14. Click the "Cancel" button.
15. Go to "File>Print..."
NOTE: The same default printer is shown in the "Print..." menu.
The changes are not shown here either.

WORK AROUND:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To work around this problem and save a different printer as
default for Calc document, first make a different change
to the document which activates the Save Icon.
For example, one could add a character in a cell and
then delete that character from the cell.
This trivial change activates the save icon in the menu and
allows the user to save the change to the cell.
Doing so also saves any changes made to the default printer
settings since the document was opened.

I have not verified that this is exclusive to LibreCalc.
It may also effect other programs in the LibreOffice Suite.
