But the actual printer selection *is* the more significant condition. Knowing
it before configuring print range and number of copies is crucial, especially
as the range and number of copies have reasonable default. While printer
selection takes a value from os/DE default or as recorded to ODF archive for a
document. And that means the user will not know what printer is selected on
opening the dialog!

Very serious situation as the printer could be a disconnected network printer,
or a remote network printer, or a "print to file" printer resource.

So rather than the copy count (and needed 10 <Tabs> round to reach the printer
listbox), starting from the printer selection is the more
conservative/appropriate landing.

It certainly is from an a11y point!

+1, change the dialog landing to the "Printer" listbox selector.
