In most print dialogs (in programs other than OO.org), there is a way to print
by calling lpr or another "filter" command. This way it is possible to pass
additional options to lpr or to use the filter's UI (e.g., gtklp's) to select
additional options. 

OO.org lacks this feature, it allows only direct printing to the printer with
limited set of options (for an example of its limitedness, see
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15030 ).




Expected Results:  
There is the option of printing through a "filter" to the print dialog in OO.org.

Workaround: print to a file, then use another command (e.g., gtklp, lpr, etc.).

Чувствуя себя по отношению ко многим программам не более чем пользователем, я не могу постить в десятки разных багзил (к тому же, не всегда понятно, что может быть эффектом патча в дистрибутиве). Поэтому я записываю замеченные несовершенства хотя бы в bugs.altlinux.org; надеюсь, когда-нибудь у меня или у кого-нибудь ещё будет больше энергии, чтобы заняться этими несовершенствами.
