ODT, A5, 4-pages, printer settings set to A4 Landscape, created under v4132.

I want to make clear(er) the distinction between this report and bug 33245, as
there are references to "File > Print Settings" in the related bug. This report
seems limited to settings under File > Printer Settings (option "B" from the
description) being mirrored when accessed via File > Print > General tab >
Properties (option "C") i.e., mainly Paper size and Orientation. The related
bug has "print driver" in the summary and is largely concerned with the paper
size setting, so there would seem to be a certain amount of overlap, although
in honesty this report seems clearer and more specific than the related one.
Basically, it is desirable to have the printer settings (option "B") saved in
the ODF and retrieved at the time of printing (option "C"). This now appears to
be the case (i.e., fixed) under v4.1.

I have restricted what follows to only Paper size and Orientation aspects for
the reason indicated (except for one reference at the end). Testing with a
basic 4-page A5 document with all pages in portrait orientation and printer
settings set to A4 Landscape (attached) shows that paper size and orientation
have never been saved or at least read from the document, until v4.1. Under
Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 these versions all indicate identical behaviour:

- v3.3.0.4 OOO330m19 Build: 6
- v3.4.6.2 OOO340m1 Build: 602
- v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b
- v3.6.7.2 Build ID: e183d5b
- v4.0.6.2 Build ID: 2e2573268451a50806fcd60ae2d9fe01dd0ce24

For example, using the attached document (and with a reset user profile):

1. File > Printer Settings > printer (e.g., for me this is a HP LaserJet 4050TN
exposed via CUPS) > Properties. 
2. Confirm Paper size is A4, Orientation is Landscape > click OK > click OK.
3. File > Print > General tab > same printer > Properties.
4. Paper size is A5 and Orientation is Portrait (thus need to be adjusted) >
click OK > click Print.
5. File > Print > General tab > same printer > Properties.
6. Same as for (4) above.

Observed behaviour:
- In step (4) initial paper size and orientation settings are not loaded from
document, and even once set, revert to the initial value each time the print
dialog is re-initiated (6).

Expected behaviour:
- In step (4) initial paper size and orientation settings ARE loaded from
document, and once set REMAIN each time the print dialog is re-initiated (6).

The expected behaviour now occurs using v4.1.3.2 Build ID:
70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a to open / print the attached document.

> Seems like that is a separate bug.....

I agree with Joel. The focus in this bug is on option "B" and option "C" (in
the original description) being consistent for paper size and orientation. That
is pretty much all.

Since the indicated bug 61186 has been fixed, it also alters the manner in
which paper size / orientation is obtained and displayed in the preview under
v4.1. There is now File > Print > Options tab > "Use only paper size from
printer preferences" that affects how paper size / orientation is handled when
other (e.g., Layout) options are included. Unfortunately, this blurs the
distinction between this report and the related bug 33245, as a print (option
"C") setting is now required to determine / access a printer (option "B")
setting for Layout issues (which have not been discussed in this comment as
they appear unrelated to the original report). This matter is a separate issue
covered by bug 62995.
