The main problem is it seems to be impossible to tell whether the
spreadsheet is too wide for the paper until it is printed. There are
other problems. I create a pdf file, view the file with xpdf, then
print the file with lpr -P aps1 <filename>. More direct methods
don't currently work for me. Overwriting output.pdf crashes 
gnumeric 100% of the time.

I'm running on OpenBSD. While I can keep current on some programs
by recompiling them, gnumeric seems to use everything but the kitchen
sink and I have a slow computer, so I use the OpenBSD gnumeric 
package in 3.6 right now. I will upgrade to 3.7 and its gnumeric package
in a month or two when my finances improve.

Two other nits are that gnumeric defaults to A4 and there does not
seem to be a configuration process where I can set printer defaults
(US letter size, print to pdf file) that are convenient for me.
