Printing from Writer ignores requested page order
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:14 EST
Description of problem: Writer (and maybe other OOo components; haven't tested) doesn't honour requested page order when printing. If I print a multi-page document from Writer and choose a page range of "2,1", it prints page 1 first, followed by page 2. If I wanted it to do that, I would have specified "1,2" or "1-2". If I specify "2,1", that's because I want page 2 printed first. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-writer-2.2.0-14.11 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a multi-page document in Writer. 2. Choose "File"->"Print..." 3. Under "Print Pages", click "Range:" and type "2,1" in box. 4. Click "Print" Actual results: Page 1 is printed first, followed by page 2. Expected results: Page 2 should be printed first, followed by page 1.

Yeah, see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23862 The order that the pages are entered into the "what pages to print" area doesn't actually affect the order that they are printed in, it just selects which ones to print. We do have the "Reverse" option which reverses the order that the entire set is printed in, but that's it.
