Remarks

Initially, hpSetup() should be used at the start of all printouts to select
the paper size and properly configure your laser printer.  If at any time it
becomes necessary to change the paper size during the middle of a
printout, hpPageSize() can then be called, after a pause in your printing,
and the paper can be changed without any disruption to your program.

If you are using a different page size than the one you selected with this
function, the printer will prompt you to load the correct paper.
