I am sorry, but stable only gets updates for real important issues with a
relatvely non-intrusive patch or for security. This is neither of them
and the 3.5.x codeline is out of life already..
(yeah, I know -0+deb7u1 got one non-real-impritant fix but that fix was trivial.)
* What led up to the situation?
When I try to create things like numbered tickets using a custom label definition (5 to a page)
with numbers printed on them (so that the first ticket is 1, the second is 11, then 21, etc.
down the page), using a 5 column spreadsheet (for example), the first page prints correctly
then I get a blank page then I get the colours messed on the next page, etc..
If I have, for example, 40 pages of tickets to print then the print dialog shows 79 pages!
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I can print the "form letter" one page at a time, the tickets print correctly. This is slow
and error prone since I have to select each line in the spreadsheet individually, print it
then go back to the print dialog to print the next page.
The messed up colours on subsequent pages makes simply removing the extra blank pages
a poor solution. The fact that the print dialog seems to know that it's printing more
pages than it should (i.e. 2 * n - 1) is also interesting.
Do you also see this in current LO versions? (wheezy-backports has a 4.0.3 for you.)
