Viro, Eldiabloconcaca all I can say is that selecting the paper size is not ALWAYS sufficient. Fact is, as Eldiabloconcaca indicated, most printers will defensively prohibit printing if it thinks the wrong paper size is inserted.

Call me excessive, but when you print, you just want it to print. Try printing a small 3*3 figure on legal paper and get a 3*3 result. The printer/driver/whatever will go to extremes in trying to resize/crop/etc. the figure. Resulting in a printout which is not 3*3.

There is a general confusion on printers that selecting the paper implies you want to fill that page especially when dealing with photos.

etc. etc.

So I d'ont think selecting the paper is the golden bullet!
