In Quark you could print the outline of the page (i.e. paper size) so that if you were working with a document that had a custom size and printing to a standard paper size you could see what it would look like in the final version (on the custom paper).
Indesign lets you print the columns and margins but not the outline of the page itself. Is there a work-around, or haven't I been reading the manuals right?
 
The general section of the print dialogue allows you to print visible guides. This will print the magins of the document.

If you create ruler guides at the edges of the nonstandard page size and select print visible guides, they will print - showing the actual page size. This is best done on a master and applied to all pages if the doc is multi page.

You can also choose to print the crop marks with zero offset if you wish to trim the paper after printing.
