Thanks, Heinrich it helps to know the same problem exists on different OSs. 

Here's what I've found on Vista: If I export to PDF and then reset the
printer settings from my PDF reader (Foxit), I can print at any desired page
size. It's a work-around, and doesn't solve the problem of printing directly
from the ODF file. I find the same behavior in selecting text color (see the
thread "changing text color." Do these behaviors represent an underlying
bug? Would it be worth my reporting it?

Hi again,
I use LO under Linux (Debian-Wheezy as well as Mint-Nadia). There you can
specify
PDF/Postscript and other printing destinations under "Device" in the
printing
dialog. PDF is the default. Unfortunately things like landscape printing
don't
work properly then. Setting it to Postscript Level 2 works fine, however.
In older
versions I knew how to change that default in some config-file, but don't
know how
to do so under LO 4.0-rc2 in Linux.
Regards
H.S.

I'll be damned - I don't know where to set "Device" in vista, but taking
your
hint, instead of "Export as PDF" I chose "Export." With that I saw that
the
file format was defaulted to .xml. I changed this to pdf, and lo! Though
the
chosen foreground color doesn't show in the odt. file, it does show in
the
pdf. The color toolbar is indeed buggy, no?

Hi,
Did you set the "Device" to PostScript? PDF printing is "buggy" in my
opinion.

I'm using  LO on Vistax64, printing on a Canon IP2600.

I can't change the paper size successfully when printing from LO. When
trying to print on half-sheets (5.5x8.5 stock), I can set the printer
settings OK, but when I click on Print the LO shows the requested text
printed at  the top left of a full 8.6x11 sheet; and
the printer's pre-print display follows that instead of the settings it
had
accepted from me..

(By exporting  the LO file to the PDF file I finally was able to print
to
the half size sheets, but it require my setting the printer to "fit to
page
printing," which I didn't have to bother with in the last Oracle
version.
OOo 3.2.0.)

The LO user guide was no help. Any advice would be appreciated.
