Well I just opened a large format document in Writer and checked every 
printer that wasa letter/legal printer and I saw NO option like listed 
above.  I use Ubuntu 64-bit with 4.0.4.

So, it does not work that wayfor my system.

I think one of my Windows drivers has the ability, but it is not in my 
Ubuntu system.
