Hello there!

Vidrep -  as the only remaining printing user... :) - recently
mentioned that the "Page setup..." menu that all apps seem to provide,
doesn't really offer anything beyond what's available via the
"Print..." menu. The latter  provides the same "Paper setup" that's
availaible through the "Page setup...".

See Page setup...: https://s29.postimg.org/74a8e58iv/Page_Setup.png
and Print...: https://s24.postimg.org/bfp6g1ns5/Print.png

Has anyone a valid argument why "Page setup" exists?

Well (if we're on the same, ummm.. page...) it seems to be needed in e.g.
GobeProductive,.  It sets the area into which entered text will be
laid out.

For others, like StyledEdit, it appears redundant.
