This is not standard behaviour. With 'answer print' you get a 'page setup'
dialog, but usually one gets a 'print dialog' after clicking 'print' in an
app. So you should use this:
on mouseup
open printing with dialog
if the result is empty then
print this card
end if
close printing
end mouseup

Well, if MetaCard ignores the Page Setup settings, this definitely is a bug.
I'd say: report it to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In the meanwhile (I don't know whether this is of any use for you, but...) I
use the printfield stack from MC itself to print nice pages, which also are
neatly numbered etc. You can 'use' the stack in the attachment to use
printfield.
