I'm not too swift with page numbering, but are you trying to print a
brochure? Writer supports that, but I don't know how you would do that
in calc. Trying to embed the sheet in a writer document might be
possible, but it's a pretty convoluted solution.
I don't know what OS you are using, but if it's Linux, the print
"command" lp has options for page ranges, so a script could easily be
written to do what you want.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I found that one too now, when looking for
it, but in this particular case it wouldn't help me much, but I guess
it will be useful in the future, now that I know about it...
In my particular case I wanted page 6 to be the back side of page 1 so
I would still have to sort the printed pages manually and put it back
in the printer. But I guess that now, when I know this, I will have
that in mind when starting to create anything from the beginning...

I haven't booted Windoze lately, but my printer dialog for my HP
Deskjet contains a "Features" page which includes the option "Book"
(for portrait) and "Tablet" for landscape double sided printing in
software. (I have to shuffle the pages with the 180 turn as well.)

Hi!
I made a few simple spreadsheets with calc, all in the same file on
different tabs, if you understand what I mean. I defined some print
areas ("utskriftsområden" in Swedish, I don't know what you call
them in English...) and I previewed the whole thing. I realized that
my work would be printed on 6 pages and I realized that if I could
print them in a different order, I could have 3 double sided papers
printed. In this case I would like the page order to be 1,2,4,5,3,6.
If I insert only three papers (A4) and when they all are printed I
just turn them 180° and reinsert them in my printer, I will have
page 1 and 6 on one paper, the next will be page 2 and 3 and the
last one page 4 and 5.
So I selected the option to print only specified pages, and in the
input field I typed 1-2,4,5,3,6. Then I clicked the Print button and
my printer started to print. Now I realized that the actual order of
the pages is 1-6. All of the 6 pages was printed but they were also
sorted! Why?
Maybe this is a Windows 98 issue rather than an OOo issue, but I
don't think so since the print dialog looks a lot different than it
does when I print from other applications. Adobe reader has their
own print dialog where you can select reverse print order and a lot
more so I thought that this dialog was the OOo one and maybe I just
could do the same thing by just typing the order I want, like in the
example above. Of course I could solve my problem very easily by
just print twice. First time pages 1,2 and 4, then turn the papers
180°, then print page 5 and after that print the pages 3 and 5.
But wouldn't it be nice if the thing I tried above was possible?
Maybe I should file this as a wish for a future feature? Or maybe
this already works in 2.0? I still use 1.1.5, due to speed issues
(old PC of mine).
