Zorin Lite user here,
I had a little trouble on setting the paper size for printing. I dont use any paper size other than Folio (which is around 21.55 cm x 32.495 cm, or 8.48 inch x 12.79 inch). Zorin does have printer menu that can be accessed from zorin search menu called "Printers" and then it shows available printers, right click on the printer and select properties, select "printer option" from the list, and on the media size <this is where the error is> , user cannot add custom size other than selecting one from the list. So, I have to use the alternative setting using CUPS which can be accessed from the browser with the address localhost:631. now, the 2nd problem arise, we cannot edit any settings, as the user password input does not pop up, it's like that the user is not the root. so, for the 2nd problem, I solved it by editing the cupsd file ( located in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ) using sudo nano. At this line below:
just opt out the authtype default and require user using # sign, and add AuthType None in the line. and lastly do:
now we can add custom size for the paper. I hope this small problem can be taking care of in the future release. Wish zorin for the bezt of on Earth.

AuthType None
#AuthType Default

sudo service cups restart
