How do I print on user-defined paper sizes?

[Jane]

I want to print on special sized paper that I create in my word processing
software. I get the following message: "This Windows printer driver does
not fully support user defined size. When you use this paper definition, the
printer may place the text on a different paper size." What do I need to do
to print on special sized paper?

 

[Alan Morris [MSFT]]

I assumed you already added a form for the paper size you wish. Does the
printer driver support the custom paper size? If you use another
application came you print to the new form size.

Alan, I tried another software where I selected the form size. The printing
is still adjusted to another size.

The printer driver may just not support custom paper size. If this is the
case, attempting to use a paper size that is not listed in the paper sizes
returned by the driver, you may experience unexpected behaviour. Which
driver is this?

Paul, how would I find out which driver it is? I use Windows XP.
