            Bug ID: 140240
           Summary: Disable the storing printer inside document
                    (PrinterName in settings XML) of ODT (leaving it
                    empty) by default (or removal)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Disable the storing printer inside document (PrinterName in settings XML) of
ODT (leaving it empty) by default (or removal)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Create a document & save (make an copy an extract settings.xml) notice
PrinterName empty
3. Now Press Printer.. Pick a printer (lets say PDF printer) & send print job.
4. Notice that no document change (desired)
5. Save the file again. And look at the XML.. Now printer name is stored


Actual Results:
Printer name embedded in file

Expected Results:
Many things wrong with this:
A) Doesn't work all the time -> As printer doesn't trigger a change; probably
disabled somewhere for the reason no change is expected)
B) Kind of privacy issue. Yes, I like clean documents
C) Apparently No Printer is stored too

D) It might trigger a search for non-available or badly available printer
E) Not sure what happens when sharing the file outside the editors environment.
So it will pick-up any printer with the same name on any system?

So prefer to disable to whole fuzz by default. Broken anyhow.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
