I found a work-around.  The printer driver doesn't have 4x6, but it has 
a #10 envelope, which is 4.13 but longer than 6.  By adjusting the 
document to shift the material by 1/8" I can get it to print correctly.  
I then have to remember to change the printer driver back to letter!

This is a real kludge but I don't have to do it very often.  The obvious 
solution is for Apple to include a 4x6 setting in its driver or for 
LibreOffice to set the page size in its print dropdown.  The latter is 
better since the driver will automatically reset to letter.
