I also agree, and in particular, I think that Page Preview should show
exactly what will be printed once you hit Print. I find it very
disconcerting , on a spreadsheet with many sheets, to go to Page Preview and
see a preview of, say, 50 pages, even though I have it set up to only print
the active page by default. It always gives me an instant of extreme concern
when I actually print, whether it will respect my wished to print a single
page, or whether it will really print what's in the page preview. Especially
since there have been instances where the whole file gets printed, for some
reason I don't understand.
To reiterate, it would be VERY helpful if Page Preview really showed what
was going to be printed.

I agree with you. Especially on larger spreadsheet it's impossible to have
to count the pages in your workbook to determine which page(s) you want to
print.
I definately think that the current sheet should be the default
printrange.

Calc, making "print only current sheet" installation default and applying
it to "Page preview" too?
(Since developers are not interested in discussing this issue I would
like to discuss it with fellow users)
Dear colleagues,
What do you think of default Calc's behavior to print complete workbook
instead of just current sheet? Printing all sheets seems
counterintuitive and wasteful in the age of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
There is very old issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10530 for that.
If not this, at least making result of "Print" more consistent with
"Export to PDF" and "Page Preview" (last two do not respect "Print only
selected sheets" and output all sheets regardless) would make behavior
more logical and predictable to users. Additional problem with current
behavior is that page numbering in page preview and on paper are likely
to differ.
Please share your thoughts on the subject.
Thanks a lot.
WBR,
K. Palagin.
