Just got a CUPS "update" a couple days ago via Ubuntu updates. When I went to print with my Samsung ML-1430 today, I found that the interface is changed in both Abiword and OOO, and I can no longer specify (manually) to print odds and then evens (to print both sides). Now there is a "range" feature which doesn't even allow me to type in the number of the page, but for a five-page document I'd have to click the first field's up arrow four times from one to five just to get a "five to five" range, to simple print the fifth page. However made this change needs his head examined.

In Abiword, there is a choice I can check called "selection", but there's nothing after it that I can specify. Under OOO, the "selection" choice is grayed out.

Why is it that as I use Ubuntu (starting from 7.10), the features get less and less? Why should I be able to print more conveniently in 2006 than in 2009?
