When I print my documents, they are printing about 1/8 of the original
(letter) size, and are being rotated to landscape mode. When I check the
document in print preview, the document looks like I expect it to - taking
up the full page, etc. I have no idea as to why it is doing this or what to
call the problem. I tested both Writer and Calc. What I print from the
internet prints correctly. And I made a test print directly from the
printer, and it was correct too. Any ideas?

There are some essential information missing:
On which operating system do you work? Printing in Windows is very different from printing in Linux.
Which version of LibreOffice do you use? Do you see a preview with measurement on the side in the printing dialog?
How do you print? Do you use the print button in normal view, do you use the print button in preview or do you use the File > Print way?
What printer do you use?
Kind regards

rename your profile so LO recreates it
That should restore you printing.
It happened to me several times - first with OOo and then with LO.
Something gets corrupted in your profile and makes your printer print that way.
Thanks for responding to my question. I have been using LibreOffice for quite
a while and have just recently encountered this problem. I was wondering if
it was because of operating system updates.
I am using Ubuntu Linux, Libre Office 3.5.3.2. The ruler is on in the
editing mode and it shows that I have a full 8.5 x 11 page document. When I
check the document in print preview, it looks like what I want - a full
page. So I think that I have not accidentally clicked on something to make
it print so small, but maybe I am wrong.
Please confirm that other programs are printing correctly.
That is that Ubuntu Printer Settings are correct.
Thanks

I do not speak of the page size you have set, but the paper size, which the printer reports. Please go to File > Print and look, what size do you see in the preview. Have a look at

to see, what information I mean.

When I print from the internet, the articles print to full page. I also
printed a test page from my printer and it printed correctly. I tried
printing Writer documents and Calc documents, both came out about 1/8 of the
original size. In the print menu, it shows that my document is 8.5 x 11.
I also tested a document that I downloaded - a newsletter - created by
someone else. It printed to the correct size. It appears that just my
LibreOffice documents are affected.

Do you follow the guide "Setting up Printer and Fax Under UNIX Based Platforms" from the help?

Thank you everyone for trying to help. I must have downloaded a bug. It
turned out that somehow under system settings, the printer settings were set
at 6 per page.
