We've supported a gtk print dialog integration in OOo for a while, but there has always been a few little gotchas, and now that the "built-in" OOo dialog has some nifty extras there are extra gotchas. So I'll be reverting to the "built-in" dialog for F11, a quick dump of the gotchas are.. *) Need an extra "Selection" option for printing. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344519 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563619 OOo can print just the selected text, selected graphic or selected cells, but no way to show that in the gtk print dialog. *) Way to specify the page size and orientation (esp. when using n-up printing) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551409 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551726 Most OpenOffice.org applications have per-page orientations rather than global per print-job orientation, but when printing multiple pages in one sheet of paper through cups, its desirable to have a way to specify the orientation and page size of the combined sheet. We could do this with a custom tab, but see next entry *) Emit a signal when a printer is selected. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564854 So e.g. a custom tab that should only exist for say, printing to a cups backend, or using save as .pdf file can be shown/hidden depending on the printer selection, e.g. pdf encryption options or pdf "read-only except for filling in fields" directives which only make sense in a save as .pdf context. Hackable around with nasty switch-page callback on the notebook widget if you rummage around horrifically through the dialog hierarchy looking for it. *) Spreadsheet printing No "All Sheets", "Selected Sheets" in addition to the pages options for spreadsheets that may have multiple sheets each of which can span multiple pages. "Page 1 of 2 sheets selected out of 3 sheets in total". Could do a gnumeric and do this in a custom tab though *) Presentation printing Want to select notes, or outline, or handouts. Could do this in a custom tab though. -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
