Page Size

I have a document that always needs to print to a 4.25†x 12†sheet. When I
switched from Word 2003 to Word 2007, the document would not print properly.
The printer seems to default back to a 8.5†width size so the document would
print on the 4.25†width sheet only if the sheet is centered in the feed
tray. The Word 2007 print preview shows the document as 4.25x12 but the
printer shows it as 8.5x14. If I try to change the setting at the printer
preview I get the message “Certain settings like paper size can’t be changed
here. Go back to printing application to reformat the document if you want
to change them.â€
This did not occur in Word 2003 and I know the printer driver allows custom
page sizes. I would like to feed the sheets in the normal manner. My
printer is a HP PSC 2110xi All-in-one and I am using Window XP. Any help???

Most printer drivers are poor when it comes to working with custom page
sizes and tend to default to a standard size - as here.
The simplest solution is to accept the larger page size in Page setup and
adjust the margins so that it prints in the correct place on the smaller
paper.
