Introduction
A new printing UI should give us better performance, more ease of use and overall more customer satisfaction. New features like the instant preview in a print dialog as well as unified N-Up printing for all applications will bring OOo's print experience more up to current standards. Additionally system integration can benefit by making use of native print dialogs (for which the MacOSX implementation will be the prime example).
The development is done in the CWS printerpullpages.

Notice that you can set the arrangement of the pages on the paper sheet in drop down list 'Page Order'. That might be interesting for OOo, because OOo is used in different language and some users writing in e.g. Hebrew or Asian languages might have other preferred arrangements. Notice also the glider under the preview. There you can "scroll" through all sheets to see whether they are printed as desired. The 'page scaling' drop down list contains also the option 'brochure'. The fields beneath change according to the 'page scaling' choice. The sheet orientation is taken from the printer properties. That is more comfortable in OOo, where you set landscape or portrait in the printing dialog. |
