Mmh, yeah. Though I consider this configuration questionable per se; on a company I worked before it afaicr just worked because the PPD (and printer) supported it so that you can just print and give you pw _on the printer_... > The suggested workaround is to "Enable experimental features" > (Tools-Options-LibreOffice-Advanced) and deactivate LibreOffice > Print Dialog Boxes (-LibreOffice-General), so that the native print > dialog is used. > > But this workaround fails, at least on Gnome 3.22.
