Comparing this list to Word we see that this is actually the same - our local printer provides a very redundant list of supported paper sizes.

I'm not sure the redundant items don't have some difference compared to each other (like A4 but with different paper tray or somesuch), so maybe we can mark this as NAB?

Full list

My list has no obvious duplicates. In any case it would be desirable to have more structure in this list, eg. per separator lines and per sorting. And duplicates makes no sense, in particular when users cannot have any idea which one to pick (if it's some driver property such as the tray).

"If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice."

The bug is still present in 7.4.7.2.

The Paper Size seems to come from cups ppd in:
  - File > Printer Settings > Properties 
  - File > Print > General > Printer > Properties

The Paper Size in File > Print > General > Page Layout is not sorted so it is tedious to find anything because the list is very long. Part of the length comes from paper sizes I will never use and the other part comes from duplication. The list of Paper size names in Page Layout is different than either of the two Printer Properties dropdown lists mentioned above. 

The Paper Size is currently showing "Letter 8.50in x 11.00in". If I expand the dropdown and scroll the list and view, 3.00 in x 5.00 for example, it appears twice, so does A4 8.25in x 11.69 in. Letter 8.50in x 11.00in appears 3 times. Some Paper sizes appear only once.

print paper size duplicates

Reproduced in current daily master build. Earliest version I can find the bug is 6.3.0.0.alpha1, possibly when the ability to choose paper size in the Print dialog was implemented into the UI.

@Adofo: I don't think that tdf#160567 has anything to do with this bug has A0 and A4 styles in Impress change only the font size to better fit according to the page size.
