Our users are quite picky with the print dialog.

Most of the redesign was done by Daniel Silva for GSoC 2019 with numerous 
follow-up, see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103309.

One of the discussion was whether the option to print odd/even pages from a 
range is important enough to be on the primary view (bug 127680). The CPDB does 
not have this option, as far I can see.
