Welcome to InkscapeForum!

That sounds more like a problem with the printer, if I understand the problem correctly. The Print Preferences dialog is either part of the printer software, or the operating system. I'm not sure which, but I do know it's not part of Inkscape. It sounds like the printer used the wrong paper tray, so you'll have to figure out why it did that.
