Is it possible...When using Printstring command to prompt the user to use legal paper and open up the printer dialog box to make necessary changes in the properties?

Or is there another way?

This is not idea, but this does work until I can figure out something better.  Would still appreciate any ideas or feedback

If Not @askuser("The Worksheet is to be printed on Legal Paper","Have you changed the printer preferences?","Page Size Legal and print on MPT, if on Sta 1")
{
     @msgbox("STOP","Set Printer Preferences","Start, Printer and Faxes, right click printer, choose preferences")
     @exit
}
else
{
NewPage(750, 1400)
PrintString("State:  ", 20, 15, 0, "Arial", 12, 0)
PrintString(State, -1, -1 , 0, "BTimes New Roman", 28, 0)
.....
