Description retired 2014-07-25 17:01:45 UTC 
Problem description: Have more than one printer installed. OS X 10.9.4, LO 4.3RC.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect only printer1
2. print in LO (printer1 is pre-selected)
3. connect only printer2
4. print in LO (printer1 is pre-selected)

Current behavior: LO does not care which printer is selected. this is pretty annoying since if you have many printers in various locations in which you work, you constantly have to adjust the printer selection.

Expected behavior: OS X knows, which printer currently is connected. Word 2011 on OS X manages to select the correct printer. So it is possible.
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.3.0.3 rc

Reproducible with 2 networked (wire) printers on OSX 10.9.4 and LO 4252.

is the bug still present with current LibO 5.0.0.5 release?
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2015-08-17 17:49:02 UTC 
Yep, tested on LO 5.0.0.5 - still there.

This seems to work. Tested on macOS 10.12 + LO Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+

Alex, could you give this a spin and see if it behaves as expected? If not, please set the bug back to "new"
