You must manually select the appropriate paper size for a printer as no local printer or user settings can be stored.
Be aware that the Email Printer extension is set to A4 paper size by default, which isn't suited in North America, for example.
Privacy Notice
If you use the Email Printer extension, all or some print jobs are sent to the email address configured for the printer. We strongly recommend that a unique email ID is tied to a printer device using only the official services provided by the hardware manufacturer, such as HP ePrint, KonicaMinolta EveryonePrint, or Epson Email Print.
Take all necessary privacy precautions, including ensuring that the email printing solution has properly configured permissions, privacy settings, and retention policies. It is your responsibility to provide a correct, verified, and operational email address. Learn more at Microsoft Privacy Statement.
