Guess I should talk about it in the design meeting on Friday.

That's also one of our bugs, but I didn't follow that discussion closely.

Did I mention I want most stuff in LO 5.0, our next LO release ;-)

P.S. Printing is generally problematic on Linux. Don't know how many
bugs we fixed, also in KDE / Qt and Gtk+, and a colleague developed
https://bitbucket.org/haftmann/macchiato

P.S.S. And then there is Qt5, with statement like Qt5 having minimal
printing support and "Anyone interested in funding development should
contact...", https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5-QtPrint -
We have two more years until our first K*5 roll-out, so (enough?) time
to fix stuff (or to switch DE?)
