View Full Version : printing pics with custom sizes

October 4th 05, 10:49 AM
I followed Cari's instructions for changing of custom sizes as follows:
Go to the Control Panel and click on Printers & Faxes.
From the Toolbar, select File, Server Properties. Look in the Forms tab and
you can set custom page sizes here.
I found A6 and others that i need. BUT WHEN I GO BACK TO THE PICTURES SCREEN STILL IT ONLY SHOWS A FEW INSTEAD OF ALL OF THEM.
OBVIOUSLY, I need to add them somehow, but where and to what?
I am using the normal XP clicking on print photos and getting the wizard box. size is limited to about 5 choices.
Please help.
thank you in advance.

Go to the Control Panel>Printers and Faxes>and rightclick your printer
and click Properties. See if there is an Advanced button and a setup for
different/custom forms. I have three printers connected and one of them has
over 20 different sizes of paper to choose from and also create a custom
form feature. It depends a lot on the type/brand of printer you are using.

The Server Properties shows sizes that are defined for the whole system. The
printer driver will most likely only support a few of them. If the size is
not showing up in your application then the printer driver most likely
doesn't support it. You will have to try to find a size that the printer
supports.
