We’ve been requesting this for a while too, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up about this changing soon. Here’s a thread from 4.5 years ago:

It’s not a big deal. You can add a feature-request tag to a thread either when you create it or afterwards. But it’s also not strictly necessary, because the devs read everything and will make note of good ideas, even if they’re not tagged with feature-request.
I can see why the other thread wasn’t clear to you about adding the tag vs. starting a new thread. Live and learn!

Well, he’s / she’s new, it’s totally understandable.
Because we’re using a custom interface for printing, we’re using the cross-platform capabilities of the Qt printing subsystem, which doesn’t provide easy access to the Windows printer properties dialog. You can open it if you use the native Windows Print dialog, but we choose not to use that in Dorico because we want to provide a custom print workflow that goes beyond what is possible in the native dialog.
If the main reason you need the printer properties dialog is to make a specific paper tray choice, that is something we can potentially add to the existing options in the options panel in Print mode. We’ll look into this when we get a chance.

(I have also merged the two identical threads into a single one, since there’s no need to have multiple threads from the same poster on the same topic.)

Please do so just being able to choose the proper print tray would be fantastic.
Some responders that offer snarky replies to an already frustrated user doesn’t help and only increases the frustration. That is why I refrain from using this forum even though there are good guys like yourself and a few others. But I admit the FB forum has the same.
It’s a shame.
Anyway, thanx for your support .
Another nice-to-have, as @eebiggs1 notes, would be the ability to print just left or right pages.
