If you cannot set the page size, print orientation, etc. from the printer driver, set them by selecting [Print Setup], [Page Setup], or a similar command from the [File] menu of the application.
In Windows 8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2, when printing from the Windows Store app, if you have previously selected settings that require input or a procedure when printing such as secure printing, edit + preview, department ID management, etc., the message [The printer requires your attention. Go to the desktop to take care of it.] is displayed. If this happens, move to the desktop and follow the instructions in the displayed dialog box.
