--- Comment #5 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
Although OP's perspective is probably the most common one, I suppose that this
scenario is a bit ambiguous. There might be situations where the current
situation is desirable.

The workaround I would use would be to export the entire document to PDF, and
then print selected pages from the PDF.


However, that doesn't really solve the problem of printing a "selection" -
since that might not be requesting the entire pages.

But even the selection might not meet expectations - since basically it seems
to be creating a new document and just printing that. (Using attachment 143110
as an example, I selected to print just one 2, and two 3's.  The result was not
one 2 on the first page, and two 3's on the second page, but a 2,3 on the first
page, and the remaining 3 on the second page.)

So, basically page numbers are irrelevant when printing a selection - it
doesn't even make sense to use the current page numbers since the content might
be different from what would be printed on that page when the entire document
is printed.

What does Microsoft do in this situation?  Word 2016 did the same as LO -
except that it did not print the header or footer at all.
