Hi Fernand,

some weeks ago I spoke with some guys at OOo and they know this problem.
Because of your mail, I did a quick search both at the OOo issue tracker
and the LibreOffice issue tracker.

The only information (related to that) is:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33639

So please, go ahead and file and issue for that ... since you have some
more insight, I'd like to ask you. But I'd also like to ask whether you
could CC me (username "Christoph").

Once the bug is filed, I'll upload a document I did some time ago. I've
started to analyze the print items stored in the ODF files. So even some
versions ago, the office suite wasn't able to store half of the settings
offered in the printing dialog (that resulted in a "funny" mixture of
both saved / non-saved) items.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Christoph

Hallo

Sinds 3.3 (windows) all PrinterSettings except the Printer Names  are no 
longer persistent and not stored  anywhere not in the profile, and not 
in the document. Within the printer settings we have the "options" who 
are not Printer specific and we have "Settings" who are bound to a 
specific printer. Both are all lost after reloading the document, We 
can  use the Printer specific settings during but only when starting the 
printing itself the choosen settings are remenbered as lo,ng the 
document stays open.

Setting the PageSizes using the API is also broken, please trie the 
included code with a printer who accept to changes the PaperSizes

PLease can someone confirm this, so i can fill a issue
