That will work but it is very limiting and is a work around to a problem
that should have a direct solution.

Do you have any information on using DEVMODE in order to set printer and
page settings?  I think might be the solution.  Based on the information I
have been able to find, I have been able to get and retrieve any page size
information for any printer.  I think this may be a direct solution.
