--- Comment #12 from crx...@hotmail.com ---
I would rename this bug, if I had any clue what better to call it at this
point.  Obviously it is not the case that it doesn't send paper sizes to all PS
page printers and in all environments as I originally implied.  As can be seen
by tmacalp's long and good testing posting, it is far from clear or simple.  My
own testing leaves me terminally confused.

Even the behavior with PS printing is not perfect in all situations, but it
appears to be much better (and more consistent) than PDF printing.  This is
certainly one major reason that I hope the LO team doesn't plan to drop PS
printing mode anytime soon ("soon" probably meaning years at this point).

For many of us, LO is one of the few applications where tray and media
selection really matters a LOT... labels, letterhead, envelopes,
transparencies, post cards, large signs, table tents, complex wide
spreadsheets, card stock, etc.  And that is magnified in business where there
are sophisticated, multi-tray lasers and copiers, often used by multiple people
and departments with complex work flows.  In contrast, most other applications'
printing being just simple stuff from browsers, accounting systems, Email, etc,
that are all just printed on plain letter paper (or plain A4 for people in most
other countries).

Finally, there could be significant debate over what really is "proper"
behavior in many circumstances, further complicating the issue.
