Description Steve Horn 2022-01-27 14:49:49 UTC

Description:
New issue with MacOS 12.1 Monterrey on 2016Macbook Pro with Intel chip. Default printer set in OS settings not recognized by Libre Office. Libre Office chooses printer at top of alpha-numeric list. Cannot set default printer in Libre Office either (File/Printer Settings), rather that selection only will apply to the current print command. Next print command even with same document always reverts to non-default printer, ie. the top listed alpha-numerically. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File/Print
2.Default printer not selected
3.Select (default) printer
4.Prints with selected printer
5.File/Print, neither default or last printer used is selected, rather printer at the top of the alpha-numeric list

Actual Results:
Default printer not recognized and selected by default. Instead Libre Office selects printer from top of alpha-numeric list.

Expected Results:
Expect Libre Office to automatically choose the default printer.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

I don't understand if I'm supposed to do something. I see under "whiteboard" field in Bugzilla Bug 147020: "QA:needsComment". Does this mean from me, the initiating reporter? sorry confused here.

Comment 2 Steve Horn 2022-04-19 13:30:20 UTC

My issue is now resolved with recent update of the OS. However, Libre Office is the only app that exhibited this issue. Nice to have this working now.

Using Libre Office 7.2.5.2 and MacOS 12.3.1
