Two of the few places I've seen a need for this is if you are printing to a
printer that supports variable widths of paper (like an imagesetter), or
creating a Postscript file (eg. for Acrobat Distiller). In those cases,
Quark will automatically adjust the height of the "paper" in the resulting
file.
When a PPD file is selected for the typical laser printer, setting the
"paper width" usually isn't available. Instead the options are controlled by
"paper size" and what options are available for that particular PPD. However
I've had trouble getting Quark to properly select from the PPD's available
choices.
