This message makes no sense at all when printing to disk, since there's no way for it to know what kind of printer I'll eventually send the file to. I am using the only available printer selection, PostScript/default, and the first paper selection in the list, letterSize (8.5x11 inch); and that size is certainly available on the printer I intend to use (which is elsewhere, hence the need to print to disk). There is no "default" paper size selection. I really don't care what paper size it formats the page for -- that can be fixed later if necessary. It is the content, not the formatting, that is important. It eventually fixed itself after much fumbling and several retries, but I have no idea what fixed it and I suppose it will probably unfix itself at some inconvenient time in the future. How do I fix it properly and permanently?
