Hi John

There are two places you need to set the page size for the printer - I think
you can get to both 'printer preferences' and 'printer defaults' from
Properties on the printer. You then need to navigate to what appears to be
the same 'Advanced' dialog each time, but you'll find it can take different
settings.
