Bug Description
Problem description:
I was trying to print a small compliments slip on a card that was 140mm x 100mm.
I set the page size under Format -> Page -> Size to user defined, and then entered the width of 14.00cm and height of 10.00cm correctly.
However, when I came to try to print it, it would not print correctly. The print dialog box showed the dimensions of A6 (140mm x 105mm) and I couldn't find any way to change this. I tried to print it anyway, but it came out wrong.
To prove that the problem is in LibreOffice and probably not related to the driver, I exported the file to a PDF, and was able to print it by setting up a Custom Paper size in the printer settings dialog - an option which LibreOffice doesn't seem to have.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Document
2. From the menu, do Format -> Page
3. From the Format dropdown, select User
4. Enter a size that is not a standard paper size
5. Click OK
6. Attempt to print the document
Current behavior:
No matter what combinations of options I tried, I was unable to change the Printer paper size to the correct size.
If I go ahead and click Print, the output is wrong (output not aligned correctly on the page).
Expected behavior:
Paper size could be set by the selected Page size, or provide some way to change the printer paper size.
