I don't think the issue on Mac has the same roots. On Mac LO seems not to do
anything when selecting print from finder. Not even when only a single document
is selected.

On Windows there seem to be some "deadlock" issue between multiple instances
started at the same time since one could see multiple soffice.bin/soffice.exe
processes running which seem to block each other. On Windows this issue here
only appears if multiple LO processes are started at the same time. LO prints
just fine from context menu if only one single document is selected at a time.


Maybe it would be possible to cause the same issue on Linux or Mac via a script
which launches multiple LO instances with command-line arguments to load a
document and print it immediately.
It might be just a timing issue which causes some deadlock during detection if
there is another instance running. Maybe LO tries to detect during document
open whether there is already an instance or whether a new one should be
launched. If the first instance is busy or not fully loaded it might cause a
"split brain" situation where multiple instances which should not be launched
in parallel exist and block each other. Although this is just wild guessing as
I don't know the LO code yet but I've seen similar issues in other applications
(also ones developed by myself).

So I agree that the Mac issue should be filed as an independent report
(incomplete finder integration, direct printing not working). Maybe it's just
about finder integration to supply correct parameters to LO when it's launched
by finder.
