Yes, thanks a lot. I now see that PRINTSTYLE is described in 5.3.3.2, i.e.
clearly as part of "5. DOCUMENT PROCESSING WITH MOM".

BTW, there are two typos:
  will not changes mom’s default paper size to A4, nor her default document 
leading 14 points, whereas

should be
  will not change mom’s default paper size to A4, nor her default document 
leading of 14 points, whereas

BTW2
I was expecting besides 
        .PAPER A4
something like
        .PAPER A4 LANDSCAPE

but couldn't find any mention of "landscape" in the docu.

Of course, with 
        .MAC LandScape END
        .  PAGE 842p 595p 2.5c 2.5c 2.5c 2.5c
        .END
I can do it, but 
        .PAPER A4 LANDSCAPE
would be convenient.
