Public bug reported:

Open a document,
print it 
select a physical printer
select a paper size that doesn't match the document size, e.g. paper size 
smaller than document

Expected: there should be options to set how to POSITION the printed
document relative to the paper media: centering, aligning to top-left,
top-right, etc, and arbitrary positioning.

Observed: there's nothing of that. 
In the Page Setup tab there is a  "scale" setting expressed as a percentage.
In the Page Handling tab there's another "Page scaling" setting which allows 
you to choose between None, Fit to printable area, or Shrink to printable area. 
By the way, it is not clear how this setting would interact with the Scale 
setting in the other tab.

But there's no X and Y or Top and Left settings, so if the document is
smaller than the paper size, you can't choose where to print it, and if
it is bigger, you can't choose which portion of it to print.

How can it lack such a basic vital setting?
