How can I print on A3 paper?

I'm trying to print a large graphic in the UK on A3 paper. The Print dialog in Preview on Leopard doesn't seem to allow A3! How can I do this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

You could add it yourself Daniel; in the Paper Size, srcoll to the bottom and select Manage Custom Sizes and create an A3 which is 420 mm X 297mm, and save it as A3

I did that, but it remained grayed out in the Paper Size menu of the Print dialog box and I'm unable to select it.

Ah-hah - when I select a different printer, I can select A3. So it's something to do with the Okidata C9500 printer driver... (Unfortunately, the different printer is not big enough to accept A3 paper.)

It does not look like there is a driver for Leopard.
