Configuring the Page Setup Dialog Box

Before you can print a photo from Lightroom, you must first enter the proper settings in the Page Setup dialog box. This dialog box is native to your operating system (Mac OS X or Windows XP/Vista/7) and enables you to specify which printer to send the file to. You must also select a corresponding paper size and orientation (portrait or landscape). Note that paper size options may vary depending on which printer you’ve chosen.
