Description FEhrhardt 2025-12-12 14:50:52 UTC 
Description:
1. Pre-conditions: Both "printers" (physical Canon printer, MSFT Print-to-PDF virtual printer) have page size set to Letter. Confirmed via File-->Printer Settings.

2. Open xlsx, then Print Preview. With Canon selected, paper size in preview is Letter. CORRECT. Select MSFT Print-to-PDF, paper size is totally bonkers 4.13x9.25. And if you print to the virtual printer from Preview, you get exactly that useless paper size. Please see screenshots

3. Yes, PC was restarted, thanks to Update Tuesday, 3 days ago.
