It is a tragic decision to maintain identical 'Print'-dialogs application-wide.

Why I concur, that there must be some consistency across an application, you
cannot expect the same requirements and functionality for programs as diverse as
a text editing and a spreadsheet program. These have just very different uses.
Somebody who uses a spreadsheet application in a professional way will easily
point you to the differences.

Instead of migrating everything that is program specific to the
'Options'-dialog, consider moving those options that are really useful back to
the main dialog.

Also, ALL OOo dialogs (NOT just the 'Print'-dialog) fare badly when compared to
other professional applications. They tend to be:
 - BIG
 - even though they are missing relevant settings/options
 - sometimes ugly
 - often non-functional

I am working on a radically different concept, but it will take some time to
crystallize the ideas. Nevertheless, inserting program-specific options into the
dialogs (i.e. customising the dialogs for every program) is a sensible approach.
