Hi Katrina,

> How do other office suites do it?

On Mac, as far as I can tell, Keynote/Pages/Numbers and MS Office use
what the OS provides, i.e. they directly call the OS print dialog in all
of the options available to the selected printer.

At present LO seems to call a subset of the total printer options
available for any given printer in its "own" version of the OSX print
dialog. For example, if psnup is supported by the printer and available
in the native OSX print dialog in other apps, this doesn't show up in
the LO print dialog.

MS Word on Mac, for example, knows (probably due to some system
notification) when a given printer is offline, and will offer up another
connected printer instead, if one has been configured and is available.
LO will quite happily send the print job to the offline printer...
