A sample spreadsheet with a macro to test Worksheet.PrintOut

In the attached sample spreadsheet, there is a macro:

> Option VBASupport 1
> 
> Sub Print_Out()
>   Dim sh As Worksheet
>   Set sh = Sheets("Sheet2")
>   sh.PrintOut
> End Sub

It is expected to print Sheet2, regardless of which sheet is active at the moment, using Worksheet.PrintOut (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.worksheet.printout).

In reality, in LibreOffice it prints active sheet. You may test that by executing it when in Sheet1. In this case, Sheet1 will be output.

Tested with current master, and with Version: 6.1.2.1 (x64)
Build ID: 65905a128db06ba48db947242809d14d3f9a93fe
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); Calc: CL

and also with OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 OOO320m12 (Build:9483).

i can confirm this:

with enabled menu "Tools.../Options/LibrOffice Calc/Print"
[X] Print only selected sheets

lo prints the visible sheet.

and with disabled option lo always prints "Sheet1"

I investigated this issue and I think that the problem lies deeper, because neither the printer API nor the printer dialog in calc does support something like  printing a specified sheet. Any thoughts?

Dear Mike Kaganski,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
