As to the first part: I've no clue.  I've never heard of a way to do
what you're suggesting, nor do I know how many documents throughout the
company have fixed page sizes.

But... I don't see how the question pertains to my problem.  I've set
the document size to 11x17 on a test doc and LO *still* insists on
printing it to 8.5x11 paper.

I cannot get LibréOffice under MS-Win, with the new copier/printers
in-place, to print to anything other than 8.5x11 paper.

Yes, they are there.  In LO I can even go to "Print -> Properties ->
Paper Source", mouse over the image on the left-hand side and it tells
me Drawer 4 contains 11x17 paper.  If I select that drawer and try to
print, the copier stops with "need letter size in Drawer 4."  So even
when LO is told to select a drawer that contains 11x17 paper, it still
insists on letter size.

Btw: LO 3.5.7.2 on my LinuxMint 13 MATE system prints to 11x17, no
problem, as well.
