The standard Page Setup and Print dialog boxes are still available, but
they are implemented in what appears to be a non-standard way.  By
holding down the SHIFT key while selecting Page Setup of Print, the usual
dialog box appears.  It's not a very common procedure; it may not even
be documented, but I've heard that it works.
