You should change the printersettings first yes.
You can offer the user of your program that abitity
by including the PrinterSetUpDialog to your program. There the user
can choose the supported paperformat or paperbin. Then
it is the responsobility of the user to put the right paper
in.

You can query PaperHeight and PaperWith to see the dimensions
of the canvas.

Setting the papersize by code will be possible too, but
don't ask me how to do that.
