--- Comment #2 from Karl Relton <[email protected]> ---
I disagree with the assertion that calc/writer are correct.

Between 4.0 and 4.1 the behaviour in calc/writer changed (running on Ubuntu)
introducing (what is in my view) a regression.

Previously in writer (4.0) the print-dialog-preview showed the page as it would
appear on the printed page, with the size of the preview reflecting the paper
size in the printer properties form. Now (4.1) it is stuck at showing the page
size as set by format->page, regardless of the printer paper size selected.

To me this is wrong: it is more useful to preview how it will look on the
physically printed page.

It is particularly acute for me since I produce A5 documents by printing 2up
onto A4 and then guillotining. I would do this by:

- format->page: set to A5
- printer->properties: set paper to A4 (matching the physical paper in the
printer)
- printer dialog set 'pages to sheet' to 2

In 4.0 the print-dialog-preview would then nicely show the two A5 pages tiled
on one sheet, matching exactly what would then be printed.
In 4.1 the print-dialog-preview just shows me two A5 pages tiled into an A5
sheet. Then when I physically print I then get two 70%-of-A5 (i.e. A6) pages
printed on the A4 physical sheet - NOT what I wanted!
