Discussion

Not all papers have a printer ID associated with them. If the printer ID is known, the printer is displayed in the Page Setup dialog’s Format for pop-up menu. If the printer ID is not known, the default formatting printer is the generic Any Printer. The printing system provides default paper sizes for the generic printer.
