I'm guessing here, but Microsoft Office has only one place to define 
page and paper size, I think, whereas LibreOffice has two: you define 
page size in Format | Page... but paper size at File | Printer 
Settings... (or elsewhere).  When you start your "new blank 
document", do you go to Format | Page... | Page | Paper Format and 
select an appropriate size?  If not, you are expecting LibreOffice to 
scale your printout automatically - or even to rotate it.

But, as I say, I'm guessing.  Printers are never straightforward!

I trust this helps.
