(See bug report #55416). Basically, with the agreement of koffice
developers (especially David), we decided to disable the page size
selection if the application set the page size explicitely, like
KWord, KSpread... This has been done to avoid a mismatch (and
confusion) between the page size selected in the print dialog, and
the one defined in the application. The same for the paper
orientation. The idea was simple: let the application defines size
and orienation to KDEPrint and don't let the user change it, to
avoid confusing the application.
For me, it's not a problem to revert the changes made at that time,
the question is more what's best, and what the koffice developers
think.

Michael.
