Me too, I don't see why the file shouldn't be capable of A3 or larger. And
installing another printer is a hacky workaround, at best.

However, these options modify the page properties so it can be printed at all,
eg. the page is letter but the printer works with A4. This becomes irrelevant
in case of print to file and the actual "paper size" selection is grayed out.
Ilmari's suggestion to disable the "Use only paper size..." makes sense in this
regards.

What I now expect is that my page settings are respected. Meaning the preview
changes from A4 to A3 (if the page is defined as A3 and the printer is print to
file) and the exported document has this dimension. And that's not working.

The checkbox was introduced for bug 79077.
