The answer to this is the same answer to your other similar thread. Paint does not grab the correct paper in the printer

In Windows 11 the Paint app uses the old Win32 print dialog, which doesn’t fully support modern tray IDs nor does it implement a true Print Preview UI.
The print dialog it opens is the old Windows 7–era dialog, which has no preview capability. As everyone has previously suggested, to solve all your problems with paint, seek other apps that suit your purpose and can function the way you want.
