Different topic, let's keep this ticket for the print preview/print dialog
thumbnail view. 

My comment 6 was about what property defines whether a _document_ is LTR or
RTL:
a) Style of the first page (page > text direction; requires tools > options >
ctl or cjk enabled)
b) Style of the first paragraph (alignment > text direction)
c) Document language
d) Application locale
e) Some toggle in the print preview dialog (that would need a default anyway)

I would go with c) meaning Tools > Options > Language Settings > Default
Language for Documents. It would show RTL in the print preview even when the
entire document is written in English. Adding e) is cheap and might help in
this case. While there is enough room for the option in the print preview, it
fit's only in the thumbnail of the print dialog. And I would rather not clutter
this part. So how about a context menu?
