I have tried this, yes, BUT...

This absolutely should not be necessary. It is not necessary to do this 
when changing between Letter and Legal sizes, so it makes no sense (and 
would be counter-productive) to have to do this just for Tabloid size...

As I said, all other programs print to Tabloid to this printer 
correctly. Only Libreoffice fails.

After debugging this with a tech with my Copier Contractor (SOS), we 
have determined that this is indeed a bug, and it is present in both AOO 
and Libreoffice. They both do the exact same thing, on 3 different 
copier/printers that support Tabloid paper sizes (Canon, Sharp and Ricoh).

This apparently is a generic problem, and my SOS guy seems to think it 
is somehow related to the fact that Libreoffice is looking for a paper 
size called 'Tabloid', whereas all of the other programs just use '11x17'...

I'll be opening a bug for this asap...

Thanks
