xls file with properties that are not applied when printing

Problem description: MS Office compatibility issue - when an Excel sheet is printed, some Print settings are not applied.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached test xls in MS Excel and open Page Setup - Tab Sheet. In "Print" section, set "Comments" = "At end of sheet".
2. Open and print the test xls in LibreOffice, and check what happened to the comments.

Current behavior: The comments are printed in the table.

Expected behavior: The comments should appear at the end of the printout but not in the table.

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Versions tested: 4.2.5 and 4.3 dev
Comment 1 Jens S 2014-06-28 09:33:53 UTC
If the comments are visible on screen - they are also visible on the same place on the print AND on the following sheet. Not visible comments only print on the next page. I could live with that.
But I have a problem that there is no footer on the print at all. On print preview the page-number is correct. Header always correct.

In my opinion the problem is different printer drivers.

Operation system: Windows 8.1
LibreOffice 4.2.5
Printer: HP Officejet J4580

I don't understand "Current behavior" and "Expected behavior". LO and MSO are similar. 
Do you mean printing comments on the same sheet just after the content/table? If so, we need dev evaluation first. MSO also doesn't have that. 
I set back to Needinfo to reevaluate this bug and to have clear expected result.

Reported didn't clarify so we must close. 
I guess reporter was confused with what was explained in Comment 1: 
in XLS will LO print both visible comments on page and on the following sheet. If print on page is not needed, comments can be turned off with View-Comments. I consider that behavior logical and fine.
Note that XLSX has it's own bug 121714.
