Have only two alternatives for page size,A4 or Letter,yet when I select letter the page size remains at A4 size.Never had any problems with Windows 7 but Windows 8 seems to be riddled with them.

As I am a rookie could you please explain to me why my printer drivers can effect the selection of page size on my computer as it prints o.k. when required.

why my printer drivers can effect the selection of page size
Because your page size selection depends and varies by the printer. Here's an example

Windows+print+dialogue+box+with+wordpad.png

You choose printer first, then click Preferences, and this is where you choose page size. This also means that:
  • your default printer is chosen when you open a dialog
  • if you have only one printer, it's your default printer

Document will also save the settings of the printer driver and if you take it somewhere else it might not print same way.
