The Page size selection should be there in firefox, so that the print content will be routed to the required page size and print preview will show the content in required format as in IE. This is the place where IE is taking advantage then Firefox.

Actually it is much more complex... because supporting multiple platforms, PrintSpooler daemons and Print Driver Engines is what controls the paper-size and "Tray" selection. Even older windows supplied drivers have bugs and driver inconsistancy between say WinXP and Win2003 server, downloading the latest from a vendor like HP will provide better options. Though I still cannot print in duplex mode more than once with firefox, the checkbox isn't persistant between print jobs, other apps will remember the setting as long as the appl is running. Bug#118563 -print properties dialog does not save papersize Page Setup is stored per-printer, not globally, as implied by the UI

One can only hope that cross-platform print driver support and development merges using opens-source projects like Moz, CUPs, HPLIP and Ghostscript.

The HPLIP package includes drivers for PCL, postscript and host-based printers.
