------- Additional comments from crx...@openoffice.org Fri May 15 20:53:45 +0000 2009 ------- For us, the remembering of the state of collate was not a problem when the default was NO (OFF). However, the behavior in OO 3.X was changed... Now the default in OO is to always have "collate on" in the print dialog, with no default choice allowed, without remembering the previous setting, and with no system-wide settings option. This is a now MAJOR problem for us. Under Linux/CUPS with network PS printers, the printer handles collation automatically. You just send a multipaged job to the printer, and the number of copies. The printer will repeat the job in it's memory quickly and efficiently. Now that the default in OO has changed, the users don't know that they are NOT supposed to check "Collate". When you check that box, OpenOffice will generate the output N number of times. When a user requests 100 copies of a 50MB document, OO now sends 5,000MB of data to the printer. It causes tremendous waste of CPU (we are centralized with thin clients) and tremendous waste of network bandwidth. It also slows down the printing process. All because that default was changed. I can't find a way to change the default to OFF like it used to be before OO 3.X. We need an environment variable or a way to hack the config files in the installation directory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
