    Description

      The code below can be used to reproduce the issue:

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QPrinter>
      #include <QPrintDialog>
      #include <QPainter>
      #include <QDebug>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication a(argc, argv);
      
          QPrinter p;
          p.setPaperSize(QSizeF(5, 5), QPrinter::Inch);
          QPainter pp(&p);
          pp.drawRect(p.pageRect());
      
          QPrintDialog d(&p);
          qDebug() << p.printerName() << p.paperSize() << p.paperSize(QPrinter::Inch) << p.paperRect() << p.pageRect();
          if (d.exec()) {
              qDebug() << p.printerName() << p.paperSize() << p.paperSize(QPrinter::Inch) << p.paperRect() << p.pageRect();
              
          }
          return a.exec();
      }
      

      Expected result:
      The printed paperSize should be custom

      Actual result:
      The paperSize is set to A4

      The issue is present on Linux and Windows, but the outcome is different.

      on Linux:
      With the code above (printed to a file), the created pdf has the right size on Qt 4.8, but the dialog shows incorrect width and height. However, on Qt 5.x the created pdf has the width and height shown in the printdialog.

      on Windows:
      Both Qt 4.8 and Qt 5 the size is incorrect

      The patch attached should fix the issue on Windows for Qt 4.8.
