Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org-calc
The default way in which OO prints spreadsheets is to print every worksheet in the file. I believe that a high percentage of the time, the user actually only wants to print the currently active worksheet, and I think it would be a wiser default to have the print function (both File->Print and the Print File Directly button) only print the active worksheet. I believe (but am not 100% sure) that printing the active sheet only is how Excel works, and I think it's how most users will expect the print function to work.

I believe that this issue has been resolved in Ubuntu 7.10 OpenOffice 2.3.0. If you print by default it only prints the selected sheet. If you want to print all sheets you can select 'options' in the print dialog and turn that option off. Please let me know if this solves your problem.
Thanks,
