Why is there a separate menu item for "Page setup" when there is already a tab for it in the "Print..." menu?

I just can't see the point of having the same options in two places! The "Page Setup" tab from the "Print..." menu item has more options, relating to printer features, whereas the "Page Setup" dialogue box is basic and looks to me to be a little 'shoddy'. I'd have thought it would be a good idea to have the 'better' set of features available, but from it's own menu item, rather than a tab. And no duplicated controls!!

Firefox on Windows doesn't have Page Setup in the Print dialog, it is in the Print Preview window.

That isn't the only menu item that appears in multiple places. View Page Info is in the Tools menu (on Windows) and in the Contextual menu. Bookmark this Page is in the Bookmarks menu and the Contextual menu, along with the Tab Context menu.
