Answer 1

Constructor for paper size is PaperSize(String, Int32, Int32)

5.0 (5) X 5.0 (5) is too little,,, Unless "Custom Size" is your string.. or 420 x 594 for A2...

and also try enumerating foreach PaperSize size in printer.PaperSizes and check whether A2 is there.. or not..

By default it sets Rawkind to custom, You also need to set Rawkind as mentioned in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.papersize.rawkind.aspx
