Not at all.

This is a very serious BUG in the Windows version of Libreoffice that 
has been there for over 3 years (inherited from :

https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65205

I finally found a workaround, and asked for some help in how to set this 
preference permanently, so I didn't have to change it every single time.

To work around it:

File > Print > Options and check the box "Use only paper size from 
printer preferences"

The problem is, there doesn't seem to be any way to force this box to be 
checked all the time.

Anyone have any ideas how I might do that?
