Changing Printer's default paper (still no luck)

Hi all,
I am still trying to print a report in A4 paper, but my printer's default
paper is
different (Letter 8.5 x 11 inches). So when i print, a significant part of
the paper remains blank, because of the different margins. Does anyone know
how to programmatically change the printer's default paper? When i set the
DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.PaperName to a value other than the default, i
get an exception, which says that i have to set the Kind property to custom.
But the kind property is ReadOnly.
Any ideas?

Thank u

Panos
