Comment 25 for bug 994388

I witnessed the same problem when switching from openoffice (Debian stable) to libreoffice (debian stable with backports).

I have written a BASIC macro that works perfectly in our office and in the office where my wife works, with the following code:

[CODE]
 DIM oDoc AS Object
 oDoc = ThisComponent

 REM Set backgroundImage-option in DocumentSettings to False
 DIM oSettings AS Object
 oSettings = oDoc.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.DocumentSettings")
 oSettings.PrintPageBackground = bBg1

 REM choose a certain printer
 DIM mPrinterOpts(3) AS NEW com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
 mPrinterOpts(0).Name = "Name"
 mPrinterOpts(0).Value = "MFC8880DN"
 mPrinterOpts(1).Name = "PaperFormat"
 mPrinterOpts(1).Value = com.sun.star.view.PaperFormat.A4
 mPrinterOpts(2).Name = "PaperOrientation"
 mPrinterOpts(2).Value = com.sun.star.view.PaperOrientation.PORTRAIT
 oDoc.Printer = mPrinterOpts()

 REM set Papertray in Styles
 DIM oStyle AS Object
 DIM sPageStyle AS String
 sPageStyle = oDoc.CurrentController.getViewCursor().PageStyleName
 ostyle = oDoc.StyleFamilies.getByName("PageStyles").getByName(sPageStyle)
 oStyle.PrinterPaperTray = sTray

 REM Set printOptions
 DIM mPrintOpts(3) AS NEW com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
 mPrintOpts(0).Name = "CopyCount"
 mPrintOpts(0).Value = 1
 mPrintOpts(1).Name = "Collate"
 mPrintOpts(1).Value = True
 mPrintOpts(2).Name = "Pages"
 mPrintOpts(2).Value = sPageNr
 mPrintOpts(3).Name = "Wait"
 mPrintOpts(3).Value = True

 REM Print
 oDoc.Print(mPrintOpts())
[/CODE]

This worked perfectly with Openoffice.org v3.2.1. When I upgraded to LibreOffice in backports (first v3.3, now v 3.4.3 OOO340m1 build 302), this stopped working.

printing complete documents to tray 1 WORKS
printing complete documents to tray 2 WORKS
printing the first page to tray 1 and following pages to tray 2 DOES NOT WORK.

Maybe this is related to the bug at hand, and it might even help solving this bug (and my problem ;-)) - to that end, I will be crossposting this info to bug #39220
