Bug ID: 93920
Summary: PRINTING double side printing should be managed
independently of printer settings
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: paolobe...@gmail.com
I think that double side printing is an important feature, and normally we
structure documents so that they must be printed double sided.
Now LO offers this feature at printer level.
If no printer is defined, double side cannot be set.
I don't know the reason why the feature has been coded at printer level, but
I'm going to explain what results from that.
User case:
- I prepare a document on a LO installation where a double side capable printer
is present, I print it, and save
- If I open it again and print it, it prints double side as I left it
- After that I pass the document to a friend of mine which has a printer which
isn't double side capable. My friend modifies the document and returns it to me
- I open the document and print it: it's printed single side
I think it's clear that it would be better that double side settings be coded
as booklet mode, outside printer settings.
In the case of double side set and printer not capable of it, the document will
be printed single side - I think it is the expected behaviour, and it wouldn't
be a bug -, but the setting will be preserved.
