Can we have an icon that will cause only the current page to be printed? It seems silly that LibreOffice doesn’t have this useful feature.
You could do that with a macro run from a button on a toolbar. Maybe it would be more useful for print/print preview to open at the current page rather than the first page.
Yes. I am suggesting/recommending that it be implemented more readily, perhaps by just typing Alt+P, which I think is what Microsoft Word allows.
I had a vague feeling that Writer used to have current page, tdf#34697 says it was applied in print dialogue for Writer. I don’t see it any more.
It is worth having a look at the bug, there is a macro there that the author says should do what you want.
Or you could look at writer print current page
Can I request that the developers try to implement a way to print the current page by pressing one or two keystrokes? I am sure that many users would find this useful.
Yup. You can add a comment to the bug
A simple macro to print current page:-
sub PrintPage
Dim oVC, CPage$, Args(1) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
oVC = ThisComponent.CurrentController.getViewCursor
CPage = Str(oVC.getPage)
Args(0).Name = "Pages" : Argss(0).Value = CPage
ThisComponent.print(Args)
end sub 'PrintPage
I have customised a keystroke (which could be Alt-P) to execute the macro.

Thank you. I am suggesting that it would be helpful to many users if a keystroke implementing this macro formed part of the system.
agreed (plus some words to fulfil the 10 character minimum)
If you don’t add a comment to the bug I linked before, tdf#34697, they won’t know what you want. Developers don’t live here, only users
