A simple spreadsheet, probably created in 24.8.x

A simple spreadsheet, no print range set, Page style set to A4. This seems to apply to any new spreadsheet too.
If I choose to print to the default printer (Brother MFC-J6955DW) then the dialogue shows it will print to A4. If I change the printer in the dialogue to
* another physical printer (HP 9010) it changes the output size to Letter
* Microsoft PDF it gives different sizes on different attempts, #11, Japanese Postcard, "(User-defined)" 105 mm x 235 mm
* Adobe PDF it changes to "(User-defined)" 711 mm x 1016 mm

Defining a print range doesn't seem to make a difference.

Also occurs in Version: 25.8.2.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: d401f2107ccab8f924a8e2df40f573aab7605b6f
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

If I test with 24.8.3.2 the page size does not change when I change printer.
