PaperSizeMissing.png visually summaries the missing paper size user controls.

LibreOffice Impress does not provide the "Page Attributes" > "Paper Size" user control in the macOS print dialog. The expected standard "Page Attributes" controls allow a direct choose of paper size and orientation as supported by the currently selected printer. 

The attached `PaperSizeMissing.png` shows the presence of the "Page Attributes" as available for Apple Keynote on macOS and for LibreOffice Impress on Windows.

"Page Attributes" controls are common and often expected for applications which can print.

"Bug 146212 - Print Preview Dialog: Page Orientation not shown on macOS" indicates a similar issue for Writer. It is unclear if a fix for the Writer print dialog on macOS will also fix the Impress print dialog. The enabling of the standard "Page Attribute" controls could vary between the Writer vs Impress components in the actual implementation.

Comment 5 Marc-Medley 2024-04-01 21:38:30 UTC
Re-test findings:

1. Impress in LibreOffice v24.2.2.2 still has the reported missing Page Attributes in dialog issue. 

2. The bug was also found to be present with LibreOffice 3.3.0. As requested, the version was set to 'inherited from OOo'.
