Bug#397083: openoffice.org-calc: OOCalc freezes while printing
Package: openoffice.org-calc
Version: 2.0.4-5
Severity: important
this occured some months ago with an older 2.0.x version, but quickly disappeared in
a regular upgrade. It is now back with a vengeance in the current version.
Printing from calc maximises CPU usage (confirmed with top) for about 45 seconds
while printing. This renders calc unusable during this time and can hamper the
performance of the rest of the system.
This happens every time like this:
open my spreadsheet (approx 290k, about 25 sheets, though each sheet is not overly
complicated).
select area to print
click the print button on toolbar
click the button for printing only selection (though I think it is a problem with any
print)
calc freezes up for about 45 seconds
here is a snip of top showing soffice.bin tying it all up while printing.

when soffice.bin calms back down (about 45 seconds later), cups spits it right out.
I know this isn't much to go on. I'm happy to provide whatever details you might need
including a test file, though it does not matter which file I use except that smaller
files, with a similarly sized selection SEEM to print faster.
