If you have a printer selected in the File>Print dialog that has the
capability to print to that size paper, it will be available under the Paper
tab of the File>Page Setup dialog.
You do not actually have to have the printed physically connected to the PC,
but it must be installed under the Control Panel Printers and Faxes utility.
