Bug #: 42657
Summary: PRINTING: LibreOffice won't save Printer Settings per
Document.
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.3.4 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: c...@aliceadsl.fr
Problem description:
Note - I had to file this under WRITER but it applies to all components of
LibreOffice...
Introduction - I have had OpenOffice in Ubuntu for some years, and saving
Printer Settings works just fine.
My understanding of how it works is as follows (please correct if wrong):
A. I can set overall System-wide default printer settings via: Ubuntu > System
> Administration > Printing > Printer > Properties > Printer Options.
B. I can set Document-specific printer settings via: OpenOffice > File >
Printer Settings > Properties.
C. I can set printer settings for the next Print only via: OpenOffice > File >
Print > Properties.
So what gets printed is whatever I set at A, unless I over-ride it for that
Document at B, or for that particular Print at C.
If I make a change at A, it then appears at B & C.
If I make a change at B, it then appears at C.
Perfect!
With Ubuntu 11.04, OpenOffice was replaced by LibreOffice and something in the
above is broken, at least for me:
What I set at A appears at B & C, prints as required, and stays until
deliberately changed again - OK.
What I set at C prints as required (one time) then resets to default as A - OK.
But - Nothing I set at B has any effect at all on C, nor on what is printed!
This means I cannot set any Printer Settings to stick with a Document, but have
to either set them as system-wide defaults at A, or reset them every Print at
C.
Unacceptable!
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a change in File > Printer Settings > Properties.
2. See if it appears in File > Print > Properties
3. See if it affects what you print.
Current behavior: Changes in File > Printer Settings > Properties are not taken
into account, so settings cannot be saved per document
Expected behavior: Like OpenOffice - can save printer settings per document,
using File > Printer Settings > Properties
