--- Comment #10 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
Hello Jay,

The bug was closed because, with all the text, it wasn't clear what the bottom
line (single) problem and request was. Let me see if I can summarize:

1. Cannot print using the system's print dialog (i.e. skipping LibreOffice's)

2. No persistence of settings on the print dialog(s) of the different modules,
nor ability to otherwise set their defaults (e.g. via Tools > Options )

3. Poor app-provided printing defaults regarding margins in Calc I: "it assumes
... the printer has no margins" [I couldn't quite understand what you mean by
this :-( ]

4. Poor app-provided printing defaults regarding margins in Calc II: When the
sheet to be printed doesn't fit on a single page, Calc should behave like Excel
and fit-to-page by default.


Please comment, and let me know if I have faithfully captured the different
issues. I will file a separate bug for each of these which isn't a dupe, and
which I understand; and I will add a comment on the bugs which your complaints
duplicate. You can of course do that on your own if you prefer.

Although I'm not a project developer, let me still express my sympathy for
encountering an annoyance which gets to you this badly. You must realize,
however, that there are much more serious issues with LibreOffice that
developers are working on; and even things I believe to be more fundamental
that inconvenient default print settings often take a very long amount of time
to get fixed. Sometimes we get lucky and they're fixed quickly. I wish it were
different. But it certainly helps if one writes a clear, simple, concise bug
report for each specific issue separately... then one can rant a bit in an
additional comment :-)
