 When you want to display the page setup dialog window, simply call the TemplatePrinter's showPageSetupDialog() method. The following function parses the action request passed by the print template loader from Microsoft. Notice the call to showPageSetupDialog() when the action is "Prompt":

invocations = 0;

function CheckIfPrintRequested() {
  invocations++;
  if (invocations > 1) return;
  switch (dialogArguments.__IE_PrintType) {
    case "Prompt":
      if (printer.showPageSetupDialog()) PrintPrep();
      break;
    case "NoPrompt":
      PrintPrep();
      break;
    case "Preview":
    default:
      break;
  }
}
