Default Changing paper weight or thickness in Publisher

I am using Publisher from Office 2021 in Windows 10. I can not find anyway to access the Printer dialog/properties within Publisher to change paper thickness. My printer which is a Okidata C6100 Laser printer has the ability to use thicknesses up to 110lb. I know this from using 65lb and 110lb paper when using Coreldraw.
So far I have been unable to find anywhere within Publisher to access paper weight or thickness when printing.
I have tried to make the changes when creating my default printer but Publisher reverts back to plain paper thickness.
I am not talking about orientation, page size etc.
I do not have any issues accessing the printer properties when printing from Corel or other programs.



Maybe I need to revert to an older version of Publisher?? Any help appreciated.

Printer options don't allow you to specify paper weights. What you can do is tell the app which paper tray to print from. It's up to you to ensure you have the correct paper in that tray.

In my case that is not true. My printer doesn't care whether it's Tray 1 or the Multipurpose tray that I'm using. However, I do need to make a paper weight selection for my particular printer. Printer options in other software allow me to access my printer properties when I select the Print function. If I could post an image I could show what my printer offers as selections under properties. Like I mentioned, I am using a OKI C6100 Laser printer. Apparently Publisher is just expecting me to use std 20 or 24lb paper. I'll just go back to using Corel.
