Being in the U.S., I have letterhead and legal sizes of paper but no A3.
Do you mean that I should not print your page?

As for your "IE-only would be better than nothing", the trend is that
IE-only might someday become nothing. IE's share of the browser market
has been declining steadily for the past four years.

All that you need to do is to Google for A3 paper supply USA then
go to the current first hit, select A3 in the top left yellow box, then
move to the right, scroll down, and order.

AIUI, US legislation rarely forbids the use of established international
standards, and US business generally makes it possible.

You've not tried to buy a non-locally sized paper tray for a HP
