Bubli, Heiko & me discussed this and we agreed on three items:

1. Move File > Printer set up to Format Page, tab Page
  It would be good make clear that usually it makes sense to have one
  printer for all page styles in the document.
  So maybe a tick "[ ] For all pages in this document" would be good?
  (Inheritance as JF suggests is nice too, but possibly less easy..)

2. Move options "use only paper size from printer settings"
  and "use only paper orientation from printer settings"
  from the tab Options to Printer properties dialog, where
  page size and orientation are set.

3. Check from all options from Tools > Options > (Module) Print
  if it is useful to have them at module level or rather
  at document level (in File > Print > Options)
  (Bubli and me had a quick look and there were at least some odd
  settings.)

Bubli, when you have time, could you take a look at 1 and 2?
Someone willing to extensively test and report on #3?
