Printing a custom paper size

J

Jennifer

I am trying to print a project on a custom size paper, but
I am never offered the opportunity to create my own custom
size paper for my printer (HP Laserjet 2200d). It only
gives me a certain set of optional sizes such as A4, A5,
Letter, Legal, etc. I need to print an A2 size and there
is no option for that nor will it let me create one.
Please help....I was able to create custom sizes on
Windows 98 but now that I have Windows XP I can't seem to
do it!

Jennifer;
Go to Control Panel/Printers and Faxes and View Installed Printers.
Highlite your printer and click on "File" on the menu bar (top left).
Choose Server Proprites.

Hope this helps,

I have the same problem as Jennifer! I have done as one
of the posts suggested and created a new form in the
server properties area mentioned, but to no avail. I can
create the form as they mention, but it doesn't come up
as a paper size in the printer options. Also, when I went
to create a 3x5 card, there were a whole lot of forms
shown there that don't come up in the printer options for
me either. I have a Hp Lasejet 4P. This is very
frustrating, and any help to finally put this thing to
rest would be greatly appreciated. I am surprized that
more people don't have this problem or maybe they just
don't try to print to custom sized papers!
