Printing within COP - changing paper size

Hello.

I have been experimenting with printing within Capture One Pro (v10) to A4 sheets and have been impressed with the output once I had become familiar with the printer settings, especially sharpening.

The next step was to print to A2 sheets. I'm using the excellent Canon Pro 1000 A2 printer. However I cannot figure out how to change the page/sheet size in the printer dialogue of COP. It is probably very simple but this evening the obvious evaded me.

The "default" A4 seems to not be changeable.

Can anyone put me straight on the procedure?

Thank you.

Regards

Peter

  Set the paper size you want to use in the Printer > Print Settings dialog.
  
  You may also get away with it in the Page Setup option but Print settings offers more controls.
  
  The printer driver can then be referenced by the C1 Print tools to work with what the printer can offer as it is currently configured.
  
  If you regularly use different sizes you should be able to create a Profile to reflect your commonly used settings. Each should appear as a "Printer" that cane be selected at the start of your layout design activity. (Or later of course if you change your mind and wish to re-work the settings for a different paper.)

  Thanks Grant.
  
  Following your suggestion I discovered that an option I had unintentionally set had "greyed out" paper size changes and fixed at A4.
  
  Yes, I will use profiles.
  
  Incidentally, by preference I normally use QImage Ultimate for printing (via a virtual machine). With recent COP printing option developments I decided to see how COP printing output compares with QIU.
