[Tested with OO 2.0 Final English and German]

A friend told me that he can't use the new OO-Impress instead of PowerPoint
because he can't print Handouts with more as 1 Slide at 1 paper.

It took me about 15 minutes to find out how this works in OO-Impress!!!

First i have looked at MS Powerpoint. There you can choose very easy in the
printing menue to printout handouts and how many slides you will have on one 
side.

Then i have looked on OO-Impress to find something equal in the printing menue,
but there is nothing. Ok, then i have looked in the OO-Helpsystem to find an
answer there. But the information there is useless. It says there:

Printing slides as a handout
You can print several slides on a single page of paper.
1.Choose View - Handout Page.
2.Click "Print File Directly" in the Standard Bar.

Ok, I thought than it is probably enough to have the view of Handouts open and
klick than on print. NB: This would be an very intuitive kind of solution for
this problem!

The result was that the printer printed out 4 paper with one slide instead of 1
paper with 4 slides.

Now I was a bit perplexed and so i thougt it is an bug and I tried to find an
equal bug in the OO-Bugsystem. And now I'm here ;)

By reading the answers here i have found out how to printout handouts(hidden in
the Options... menue ) but you see that it is not so easy as it could be.

And the bug with clicking on Handouts and then on Drawing is still there.

My suggestions:

1) Put this very often used option direct in the first printingdialog instead of
hiding it in an submenu(Options...).
Have an look at the powerpoint printing dialog.

2) Think about the intuitive solution i have described above and how it is
described in the Impress-Help

This part of Impress needs really an usability update.

Thank you.
