Thanks. Unfortunately, as of LO 5.0.X, my suggested option #2 was implemented
with exactly the complication I saw it coming with. I've since opened bug
94342 (PRINTING: Printing certain page layouts (brochure/multiple
pages-per-sheet) should enable fields for setting page size/orientation) to
address that quirk. I've also opened bug 94343 (UI: Move "Use only paper size
from printer preferences" to print properties dialog). I guess I'll add those
to the see-also list.
