	You can use NewCustomPrinter and SetupCustomPrinter to change certain print parameters. http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/SetupCustomPrinter.php http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/how-do-i-use-the-setupcustomprinter-function.php http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/what-paper-size-values-can-be-used-with-the-setupcustomprinter-function.php Andrew.
