Title:
  Can't select non-standard paper sizes for Printing

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
