How odd. This is the only application I've ever seen (in the modern era, at least) that presents a different arrangement of print options than is provided by every other application. I can see that there might be useful reasons to do that for an application like this, but a FAQ entry that describes the mapping from the "typical" print options to how they're presented in OO, would be useful.
Thanks for figuring that out.
