Hi,

thats absolutely true. It has always to sides:
a) you query for a specific size
b) normally the printer "knows" of the sizes loaded into its trays
c) and your selection of a particular tray

a and c must go together or you should try to just refer to the
tray wihout specifiying a media size.
If the printer cannot be set to the requested size some of them
offer a "universal" size which is just the largest it is capable
of. You then would have to care for yourself, that the printed
area will fit onto the media.

Hope this helps a bit.
Best regards,
Peter
