Re: [libreoffice-users] Draw printing of large plans

Folks

You can probably see the screenshot attached in your received email, but 
I see it is not kept, and stripped when posted back to the 
users@global..libreoffice.org.

This is the Brother large format printer I own and as you can see from 
within the software for the Brother (not the printer itself), lower 
right, you can see the choices I have from within any app I use, whether 
in Windows 7, or in my case and this screenshot, Ubuntu Raring 13.04, to 
select multiple pages for a large format image, document and so forth. 
This is using LO Writer 4.0.4, but as I said I can open Calc, Draw etc. 
with the same choice of options. Although covered and greyed out while 
my selection is open, I can also select the page order.

So although Regina used a different set/choice of words, possibly 
applicable to her make and model of printer, most modern medium to high 
spec printer software does have a choice somewhere in it's software 
settings, to do multipage printing.
