Sorry to take so long in responding to your question.
I did try printing from other programs.  I do not have Microsoft Office and its
version of draw to test with (which would have been nice).  I did test with
Google Sketchup 8 and that program allowed me to print drawings of any size
perfectly to scale from single pages to many pages (36 inches wide), but that
program is very different from draw.  I tried LibreOffice 3.5.4.1 
Build ID: 7306755-f4f605c-738527d-1cf4bc1-9930dc8 and got the same results as
reported before.  I tried  the latest Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID:
b1d0fd4f969976e2133f8eaa37c1fb8360c20f6)
TinderBox: Win-x86@6, Branch:master, Time: 2013-01-24_00:26:43 and got the same
results.  I tried OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 
OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
OxygenOffice Professional Alpha 3.2.1 M019 - OxygenOffice Build 40 and this
time I got slightly different results.  The image was not missing in the
middle, it was missing on the right edge.  ( I have a drawing that take 6 pages
and ever time I have printed when over 20 inches width I get 6 pages but the
coverage is wrong and this time it was different)
This different result is interesting though.  Let me explain.  When testing the
latest Version of LOdev 4.1 as listed above I accidentally opened the drawing I
was testing in impress.  How, by using the recent documents under the files
menu; I chose the drawing and thought I had opened it in draw (That is what the
program is supposed to do right?).  Since my task pane was closed it looks
close to identical except it says impress instead of draw in the top bar.  I
did my testing and things were slightly different in the print just like in
OpenOffice 3.2.1.  Since this weird thing happened, I tried opening the drawing
with LO 3.5.4.1.  I could not do it with the recent documents, that flaw seems
to come in a later version, so I renamed the .odg to .odp and it opened right
up in the LO 3.5.4.1.  And guess what the testing showed, the same slightly
different variation of the printing missing on the right side.

I know my printer is old by today's standards and could have some non-compliant
way of communicating with current programs.  But since it does print right with
sketchup, It seems this variation in the print output by LO could suggest an
uderlaying inconsistency in how printing is being dealt with, though it may
only ever affect printers identical to mine on Win XP.    

Thanks for looking at this and not thinking I am, well something.  I will let
you know if this continues when I have installed a stable release of LO version
4.x
