Yes. The printer "tells" what paper size it is able to handle. And LO 
searches the best fitting from them. Unfortunately, the printer does not 
"tell" whether this paper size is really available. So your printer 
might go into a waiting mode and you have to enter the paper manually.

The behavior is different for Writer, Calc, Draw and Impress. Generally 
there are two ways to get fitting of page format and paper size. You can 
tell your printer what to do. For example my printer can print with 
scaling 80%. Or you can tell LO what to do. Especially Draw and Calc 
have a lot of options.

You should describe a concrete task, if you want detailed help.

Kind regards
Regina
