This came up while testing bug 149786

Excel apparently has a print option called "Ignore Print Area" in its Print dialog.

Calc does not have a similar option.

1. Open attachment 181030 [details]
2. Notice it has a print area set, this is imported correctly.
3. File -> Print -> Notice the "This should not be printed..." texts are not visible in the preview. This is the effect of the defined print area.
-> There is no way to override this setting before printing, if the user wishes so, unlike in Excel.

Yes, maybe someone needs something like this.
Would be a nice enhancement.
