The report writer saves the paper size with the report and uses that when generating the output. For a simple substitution where the width is the same, say the report was defined with letter size and you want to print on legal, you can hack the frx before printing.

However, if you want to print on another size paper with a different width, it's a completely different ball game that requires a very extensive ReportListener, a bunch of API calls, and a lot of code. Incidentally, later this month I am presenting a session at SW Fox that showcases exactly how to do this!! You should sign up right away!! ;-)
