I've bumped into a oddity in printing from Calc. Here's the background: for my Physics class, i've put the raw data for distance an object moved in free fall, along with a graph showing position versus time. Since that's already two printable pages, i go and put my 'cooked' data for velocity calculations on Sheet 2. Now i go to print these, and OO tells me "There is nothing to print. The selected sheet or range is empty." If i print "all sheets", i only get the two pages of Sheet 1.

Have you needed to define a print range on the first sheet of your spreadsheet? If you have, what you describe is exactly how Calc will behave. Without any print range defined, a print operation will include all sheets with printable contents. But when you define a print range anywhere, that part of that sheet becomes the defined range for the complete spreadsheet. If you define a print range on one sheet only, nothing on other sheets will ever print, since it is not included in the print range. In other words, if you need to define a print range anywhere, you need to define other print ranges on every other sheet that you want ever to print.

If this is the problem, your solution is either:
o to remove any unnecessary print range on the first sheet (Format | Print Ranges > | Remove), or else o to add a suitable print range on the second sheet (Format | Print Ranges > | Define) to include everything you need to print from there.

... i would like to know if this is a known bug, something i've entered in error, or what.

As the saying goes: it's not a bug, it's a feature!

I trust this helps.
