Gaba_p, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach an example document that when you attempt to print as desired demonstrates this problem?

[Gabriel_P (gabp)]

I think any document will do, but I'll attach one anyway.

If I try to 'Print' this document it shows 0/0 pages.

Gaba_p, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

OK, I finally created a *new* account and committed the bug to bugs.freedesktop.org. Here's the link: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41116

I know this isn't the place for this rant, but it baffles me the incredibly complex and convoluted bur reporting system Linux has. Just to submit this simple bug I had to create 2 new accounts in 2 different sites, read quite a bit to understand what I was doing and finally I was confronted with an internal server error (when the bug report site reports it crashed and asks you to report a bug, you con only laugh):

FreeDesktop Bugzilla has suffered an internal error. Please save this page and send it to <email address hidden> with details of what you were doing at the time this message appeared.

A legal Version was not set.

I lost count of the many times KDE's automatic crash report system *crashed* on me just randomly or because it attempted (and failed) to download a gazillion Mb of gods know what before it could send the bug report.

I understand KDE, LibreOffice, Ubunut, etc, are all different things but if this system could be polished, simplified and integrated, you'd be getting tons more of bug reports from not-advanced users such as myself.

When I mean simple, I mean something like 'chromium' (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list)

Sorry, I had to say it.

Cheers.

@Gaba
Attachment is missing - Bugzilla sometimes eats attachments for original report ;-)

Effect is reproducible with test document, but it's not a bug, but a user error.

@Gaba:
In menu 'File -> Printer Settings -> Options -> Pages' also check "Right Pages", and printing will work.

closing invalid as per upstream.
