2. On the Print Dialog select File > Edit Print Driver Configuration

3. On the Print Driver Configuration Dialog expand the 'Windows Printer' section

4. Change ' Full Sheet Mode' to 'False'

5. Select File > Save

Having made the change on the Print Dialog select File > Reload Print Driver Configuration for the change to be read.
