I was also expecting feedback from other users and then forgot about
it, sorry.

Normally that would be me, at least for the OS's I normally use.

If we are talking about standard dialogs here, then we are out of
luck, standard TPrinterDialog has no direct paper select
capabilities, however if when using TPrinterDialog you click printer
properties and select a paper in printer properties dialog, that
choice should be honoured, if not you have found a bug.

I don't know if this apply to all applications but usually printing
takes two optional steps, in step one you select printer properties
using TPrinterSetupDialog (which normally have printer and direct
paper selecting capabilities, BTW, you can use this instead of
TPrinterDialog if you don't need page range selection), and step 2,
where you select page range printing using TPrinterDialog.

At least this is my understanding, it would be nice to hear from
other users what are their expectatives.
