Could someone please explain to me what this response from the bug report team means? Obviously a Page Setup panel is for changing the formatting of a specific printer, but how am I supposed to tell what that printer is.
Is it normal Mac usability for the user to use the Page Setup sheet to choose their printer, paper size and orientation, and then when they select Print to have to change the printer again to the one they just chose, if it doesn't just happen to match?

Particularly:

"It’s important to keep in mind that the formatting printer does not specify the destination printer—that is, the printer to which the document is printed. The destination printer is specified in the Print dialog, which by default is the default printer in Print Center. The user can change the destination printer in the Print dialog, but changing the formatting printer in the Page Setup dialog does not change the destination printer."
