Most of my use cases are when I'm using an alternate page layout.  I typically
use different paper sizes/orientation when selecting brochure mode in writer to
print a letter formatted newsletter on tabloid paper.  I use
fit-to-page/distribute on multiple pages in Draw for to shrink diagrams/print
on multiple pages.  As I mentioned above, I've submitted bug 94342 to address
these cases.

There have been other times where I've allowed my printer to use its own
mismatch policy to enlarge/shrink documents.  It's not always possible (easy)
to scale up LibreOffice documents/drawings by changing the page format, since
font sizes don't scale.  Being able to use these fields has been a secret
workaround for some of these cases.

Users have enough trouble finding the checkbox where it currently is in the
print dialog.  I would hate to recommend moving it even further away from the
fields it modifies.  I'm assuming this would be put there because it could be
more easily saved with the document?  

If you could put the option under page format and have it actually saved with
the document (partially solving bug 79077), I would consider it the lesser of
the two evils.  If putting it there does not solve the "setting isn't sticky"
problem, I'd leave it where it is.  I still think the *right* solution is move
the setting next to page size/orientation in the print properties dialog, but
realize that it might be too expensive to implement.

Whatever is decided, there should at least be some text in the print properties
dialog saying why page size/orientation are disabled and where to go to enable
them.
