Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I cannot print non-sequential slides that have been selected in an Impress slideshow.

Example:
-Open slideshow with lots of slides (see attachment.)
-Click on "Slide Sorter" tab.
-Select several slides (e.g. numbers 1, 5, and 35; click one, then ctrl+click the next ones)
-Press Ctrl + P
-Try to click "Selection", except that it's grayed out.

Ugly workaround:
-Press Ctrl + P
-Click "Pages"
-Type in pages/ranges. This is very frustrating because you can rarely see all your slides at one time. You must go through the slides, write down the chosen slide numbers on a piece of paper or memorize which ones you want to print (!), and then open the print dialog and type in the numbers.
