Hacking LO print dialog

[Jim Cobley]

Not so strange to miss out pages when printing.
For example our telecom supplier provides PDF bills - with "This page 
intentionally left blank"
When I print these for my accounts I don't want to waster toner & power 
on the blanks!
Also - if I have letters to print that take more than 1 page I will want 
to print, say, page 1 in the upper tray (because that has headed paper 
on the current printer) and the rest on the lower tray.
I could also want to print the first page on 1 printer and the rest on 
the second - OK I can do this with a page range in the Print GUI.

There is no point pushing keyboard sequences - it is too unproductive 
and Unix has gone beyond that now (wish someone would tell Ubuntu and 
Dash!).
