Custom paper sizes

[DH]

I have a Canon Lasershot LBP 1210 and need to know if, and how it's possible
to specify custom paper sizes?

At present I am only given a very limited number of pre-set options (A4,
Letter, etc), although there appear to be some options to change Form sizes
which I haven't managed to achieve.

It's a big limitation not being able to specify a particular printing size
to match a particular output from a word processor.

Thanks for any help.

For NT/2K/XP, it's a bit hidden.

Go to the printers Folder (Start/Settings/Printers), then go to the File
menu and pick 'Server Properties'. There is a Forms tab. YOu can put a
check in 'Create a New Form', type in a new Form Description, and fill in
the info on the lower half to create a new one.
