Default Word 2007 ignoring printer driver settings

I've just downloaded the Office 2007 trial and I see Word is even more
infuriating than before when it comes to printing. Word 2000 always used to
override the printer driver settings with whatever settings were stored with
the documents, but so long as you knew this you could sort it out by
clicking 'Printer setup' on the Tools menu. How the hell do I do this now?
There's no tools menu, and as far as I can see, no Printer Setup anywhere.

I have a Canon IP4200 printer with two paper trays. I keep the Auto Sheet
feeder topped up with scrap paper, stuff that's already been printed on one
side, for printing things I won't want to keep. The clean paper goes in the
tray, and this is set as default. Word 2007 insists on printing to the Auto
Sheet Feeder.

This is only with new documents. If I load and old document created in Word
2000 it behaves itself. I just don't know, with this new-fangled Ribbon
thing, where I go to tell Word to use the printer driver settings rather
than its own.

Help, anybody?
