Ha I saw that one when I was trying to work out why this wasn't working. Alas no nothing that good.
Turned out the issue was if you set a print range then it has to talk to the printer driver on windows and that takes forever to respond if the thing is a network printer and it's asleep. You open the ODS file it just hangs.
I'm not sure if they fixed it. It was reported on bugzilla and was rotting already for years. I got so annoyed with it and just thought fuck it and bought an Office license.
Edit: downvoted to -1. Stay classy HN. I need to get stuff done not bugger around with defects all day. Nothing wrong with that!
Ah I just get annoyed. You write up your genuine experience and it gets buried. That's not helpful to anyone. It's not helpful to the engineers on a project or the customers. But it validates someone's ego somewhere. It just seems so immature.
I'd rather there was no upvote or downvote at all.

You've had an account for 11 days, I'm not sure you've had enough experience to form a proper opinion on this. I feel like the upvoting/downvoting system helps a lot.
I’ve been here a long long time. Around 2009. Occasionally I walk away for a few months.
I was there when it wasn’t possible to criticise MSFT because of the second coming of Satya. I was there when Google did no evil. Now look where we are.
Well, I've had an account for over a year. I think that the voting system is not generally very good, as it is subject to the same ills as all other such systems. Productive comments with unpopular views inevitably get buried, especially on threads which touch anything to do with politics.
It gives me an indication of whether my comments please people or annoy them, and encourages me to keep the two in balance so that my karma stays level.
I have a theory that there's a limit to the human ability to be genuine, and "just be yourself" is not very meaningful, because all interpersonal communication is inescapably an act. Of course you can have sincere intent, and make a great effort to convey what you think is true, but this always has to be done in some kind of register, and so it's always a performance (however simple). Shrek tells us that ogres are like onions, but if you peel all the layers off an onion it vanishes.
Beyond your current self you have room to craft the even greater art-work you aspire to become. The creative effort ideally captures the emotions and experiences.
You are your own composition.
Arguably, judging you should be a privilege reserved for people who know you.
Should civilized men engage in this assumption that everyone is easily understood entirely by written words or does the act describe how shallow the jury is?
I'm sure I have much to learn from people down voting my comments without saying anything.
If only we could all be more like them, then we wouldn't need to have these conversations. haha
The upvote and downvote buttons are a couple millimeters apart on mobile and there's no feedback (that I've noticed, anyway) regarding which one you've pressed. There's probably a lot of accidental voting.
Change your default printer to Microsoft Print to PDF (if you're on Windows) and it will fix the issue. But I agree, that bug is a huge pain in the ass.
