+1.  This bug is present in 4.2.7.2 and prevents me printing headed
notepaper on a non-standard paper size.  Exactly as EliCoten says;
'Format Page' is used to change the document page size, but in the Print
Settings dialogue, there is no 'Custom Paper Size' option.  The nearest
standard size seems to be chosen instead.  Custom Paper Size needs to be
offered in Print Settings (ideally, the print settings dialogue should
pick up the custom size the user has created via 'Format Page').

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.
