Any standard portrait size prints OK, as long as length ≥ width. The printing
routine seems to measure from the top, and the left. The right and bottom sizes
simply affect the printable area size. But you cannot set a portrait size wider
than long.
Landscape sizes measure from the top (which would be the right of page if we
held the page so as to read it) and I imagine the left (which would be the top
of page when we held it to read it with the print upright). This takes it that
193x114 is inserted into the printer as 114(w)x193(h). They print ok if
inserted sideways so that 'length' ≥ 'width'. Finding the top of page (LHS in a
portrait page) relies on having the page guides in the printer correctly set
for the narrow size
Envelope sizes do print either way. They are inserted in landscape mode, but
will print portrait or landscape. Had I set my page up as 114mm wide x 193mm
long, I could have printed landscape (i.e. from one wide side to another) by
using the nearest envelope size.
The 'user' size isn't a standard size, or an envelope size, but has the
defaults of a standard page size. I needed the defaults of an envelope size.
That was the problem.
Every print routine has it's own unique interface in the GUI, but I don't know
how deep that goes. The fact that this doesn't surface in other applications
(e.g. firefox) probably means that it's your bug. But a fix of the user size
would do it.
You can consider setting this to NOTABUG, in view of the many outstanding and
untreated bugs in your print routines. Your choice. I wouldn't have bothered to
report a bug this small.
