What is wrong with the result?

Enabled "Use only paper size from printer preferences" in tab "Options" 
in Print-dialog and set the correct paper size in your printer settings.

Does the preview of the Print-dialog show the desired paper size then?

Sometimes the printer itself is the problem, so you should mention which 
printer do you use.

If nothing helps, try a two step printing: First export to pdf, then 
print that pdf-document.

 Where could I get support?

This mailing list is suitable. Or "Ask" as Heiko mentioned. Or the forum 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/. Despite of the URL 
"openoffice.org" it is for "User community support forum for Apache 
OpenOffice, LibreOffice and all the OpenOffice.org derivatives".

The set of people who answer on these channels have little overlap.

Because you are working on Linux and Linux is a little bit special in 
regard to printing you might get help in the community of your Linux 
distribution as well.

Kind regards
Regina
