If in Microsoft Word's "Page Setup" dialog I select custom page size
and enter 1.5 inch width by 1 inch high, how does this information get
passed to the printer driver?

I expected that the DEVMODE passed to DrvEnablePDEV would
contain the correct dmPaperLength and dmPaperWidth, but these
values seem to be the default form size for the printer.

I set a breakpoint at DrvEnablePDEV and inspected every DEVMODE
passed to the driver. All of them contained the default page size as set
in the "Printing Preferences" property pages. Several of the calls showed
the DEVMODE dmFields did have DM_PAPERLENGTH and
DM_PAPERWIDTH set, but the values for those fields were still the
default for the printer.

I know these values are available because another vendor's printer
driver works correctly in this case.

What am I missing?
