Fabien,

yes, that's fine, put if a page size other then
"A3","A4","A5","B5","Letter","Executive","Legal" is chosen, means
"Custom", how will you pass them to the printer object.

Yes you can do it by Printer.PaperHeight and/or Printer.PaperWidth.

But I think that there is something wrong in the printer.object.

And I do not see the necessity to reset Printer.NumCopies to 1, and
Printer.FirstPage and Printer.LastPage are kept.
