Alex, I use to know a guy in Canada and he stated they use the metric
system and he used A4 paper [8.27" by 11.69" roughly]. I use to get PDF
documents from him in that format.
I do not know anymore with Windows 10, but I know that Ubuntu Linux
printer drivers can be set as any number of page formats - like Letter,
Borderless Letter, Legal, Tabloid Borderless Tabloid, and more. I also
do not remember where you can set LibreOffice's page format defaults.
Personally I have all but my wide format printer paper size set as
Letter. The wide format can go up to 13" by 19", but I keep Tabloid
paper in it so that is its default. Rarely I print regular or Photo
paper in the 13x19 size.
I have added external Print to PDF apps/drivers installed on both Ubuntu
Linux and Windows 10. I use these when I want to create PDF files for
the printouts of other software - like Email, Browser, etc.. I am
looking for a better one for Ubuntu than the CUPS-PDF system. Before it
went "wonky", I use to have CUPS-PDF as my default "printer". Now it is
my laser printer.
I am using LO 5.2.7 since my Linux laptop[s] had problems with very slow
Format>Page dialog opening using 5.3.3 and .4. IT could take as much as
30 seconds. 5.2.7 does not have that issue. I may upgrade a spare
laptop to 5.4.0.3[?] to see if the issue has been fixed.

Alex,
Apologies if this has already been answered as I only get the daily
digest.
In Canada our standard is letter (8.5" x 11"), legal (8.5" x 14"),
tabloid (11" x 17"). Because we use the metric system, PCs usually
default to cm. This is totally useless since our paper standards are
in inches.
I haven't had the problem with HP printers but I print to PDF more
than direct to the printer. PDF production is good. Perhaps the
people with this issue should print to pdf first and then open in
Preview and print the PDF. I've done this in the past when Acrobat
did silly things.
Until today I was using LO 5.3.4. Today I upgraded to 5.4 so we'll see
if this changes.

Hi Al,
I have reported this as a recurrent bug - Bug 86838
When attempting to print a Writer portrait document, it prints
rotated 90
degrees (= landscape).
This occurs with 5.3.5.X and 5.4.0.x
Does anyone have a similar problem?
For those users who don't care to read through the whole shebang of
comments on that bug report :
- it appears to affect only Mac OSX;
- it appears to affect only those users for whom the locale-based
default page setting is Letter - in other words, mainly US and Canadian
(not sure what the default page size is in Canada?) based users;
- it mainly seems to show up with Brother and HP printers.
Reports from users corresponding to the above much appreciated.
Alex
