User defined size paper is not available

[Vensia]

Dear all,

I'm using Windows XP and have created a custom size paper using Server
Properties.
In printer LX-300+, I can see the new custom size in the list, but in
printer LX-300, the new custom size is not available.
Is there any solution for this problem ?
Thanks.

Regards,
Vensia

Yes, use printer LX-300+

Is it right that several printer drivers don't support user defined size
paper?
Thanks.

Very possible, but I am not familiar with ALL printers.

the user defined form must meet the requirements for CUSTOMSIZE in the
device GPD. If your form is not within the boundry of the CUSTOMSIZE, it
will not be displayed. Try a bigger sixe, then experiment to determine the
smallest size the GPD will support.

*Option: CUSTOMSIZE
{
*rcNameID: =USER_DEFINED_SIZE_DISPLAY
*MinSize: PAIR(8400,6996)
*MaxSize: PAIR(10200, 16800)
*MaxPrintableWidth: 10200
*PageProtectMem: 1692
*switch: Orientation

Using the same printer, the custom size in Win98 is available, but in Win XP
is unavailable.

in the GPD associated with the printer. Look in \windows\inf\ntprint.inf
for the model name. The GPD is located in
\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3

"Epson LX-300" = EPLX300.GPD
,EpsonEpson_LX-3005681,Epson_LX-300
"Epson LX-300+" = MS_EPLX300P.GPD

Thanks Alan for your help.
To edit the GPD file, may I use Notepad ?

Save a copy. I can't endorse this since the vendor gives us this
information we must abide by their rule. But you can do what you need to!
Notepad is a fine text editor.

there's a compiled version of this file in the same location with a .BUD
extension. Move that out of the w32x86\3 directory.

When you have saved the edits, stop and start the print spooler service. I
new .BUD file will be generated the first time you use the driver
