--- Comment #5 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Calc is a component where users can be surprised to learn that page style
exists and has to be tweaked to print as expected. Writer, Draw and Impress
clearly have page and slide settings that are directly visible on canvas,
whereas Calc has no visual hint of it.

So I can see how many might expect to see the print ranges' content
automatically adapt to whatever paper size is chosen in the Print dialog,
seeing a sheet as just a number of cells that can expand at will in both
directions, virtually without limits.

Backward compatibility + PDF export means we can't just do away with the Page
Style dialog's settings that can also be found in the Print dialog, nor add a
"[from printer settings]" option for Paper Format like there is for Paper Tray.

How about an option in the print dialog, something like "Ignore Page Style's
paper format", which could be on by default?
