Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2010-04-21 08:55:02 UTC
Compare both the screen shots.
Some print features "hand outs/notes/etc" is missing from the 3.1 print dialog, which is a major blocker for people using this a lot.

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2010-04-21 09:14:47 UTC
Indeed, the gtk print dialog doesn't have the capacity to set these. This didn't matter greatly before because the options dialog supported them, but it no longer does in 3.1.1, so the gtk print dialog isn't sufficient to gain access to all features available pre 3.1.1

The only practical option is to revert to the OOo print dialog after all, something I hadn't wanted to do because it looses the look and feel integration that existed earlier in the RHEL-5 cycle. 

Bug #476039 is the attempt to regain the gtk print dialog with support for the extra features.

A workaround is to toggle tools->options->general->use native OpenOffice.org *file* dialog.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2011-08-03 08:45:22 UTC
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.
