*** Bug 127679 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** reproducible with Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 71ef762f21ada8c25aad2183065478171e985e8c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded *** Bug 127709 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 129111 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 131412 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Problem persists in LibreOffice 6.4.3.2 I doubt the severity. Printing only even/odd pages of a range is a corner case. And easy to work around by entering the actual page numbers. Plus, was it ever possible to print even/odd pages before? Nevertheless we should solve the issue. I suggest to have buttons for Odd/Even that switch the selection to Range and enter the pages in this field. If pages has been filled with a value before, eg. 1-20 we could modify that. I'll be working on this. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7) > I doubt the severity.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to enter 50 even pages of the range. It used to be more convenient. You could specify a range and choose whether to print even or odd pages from it. This is needed to print a part of a large document. (In reply to Andrej from comment #9) > (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7) > > I doubt the severity.

Of course, Heiko simply wasn't familiar with how often the need arises to print part of a large text document double-sided on a single-side printer. However, despite doubting, he didn't actually change the severity, only expressed his doubts; and continued to "Nevertheless we should solve the issue". So it's not abandoned, don't worry - Srijan Bhatia even assigned it, so hopefully it will be fixed soon - good luck Srijan Bhatia! :-) (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7) > I doubt the severity.

Shouldn't there be a seperate field for taking range for the even and odd options? The pages option can take single page numbers as well in which case a user could input an odd page number in the even option or the opposite(It won't print it though as the code won't allow it). *** Bug 45201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Submitted a patch for this. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/96612 Did this for draw/impress as well as it would suffer from the same issue. Srijan Bhatia committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/14b8c176133979cd1c3163ef5fe3eed0e6479fea tdf#127680 Add the option to print even or odd values from a particular range It will be available in 7.1.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback. Works in Writer, Impress, Draw 7.1+. (Impress/Draw works with Slides/Pages, not with Selection, which I guess was meant for content not pages). Still not in Calc (as noted in the patch review). Can be another bug. I find odd this order "Even and Odd"/"Even"/"Odd", per real numbers better sequence would be "Odd and Even"/"Odd"/"Even" (as is in MSO and WPS). I see that in pre-6.3 there used to be the same order and in post-6.3 again Even and Odd but it should be corrected, best here and now.
