Where to read out the other PrintDialog-Settings?

Hi,

i do not mean the settings which are provided in the normal PrintDialog
properties. I mean the other settings which comes up after a click on the
'Properties'-button right beside the ComboBox where all the possible
printers
are listed. After a click on this button for instance i can adjust the
paper-orientation (portrait/landscape) or the quality of printing or the
size of
used paper and more...

The problem is now, that the printer ignores it if i changed these settings
before (to adjust the orientation on landscape (also 'DevMode' is still
saying 'Portrait')). Only a extra code-line
<Printer1.orientation:=poLandscape> will have an effect. BUT before
executing this code-line i have to know, how somebody have adjusted this
point...

Unfortunately these settings are not shown in the normal PrintDailog
properties. But where else i can read out this just made settings???

What is the sense of this PrintDialog-pages, if they have no effect and
nobody can read out their settings?

Any ideas how to do that?

Greetings!
