Can't define custom paper size on HP2600n after Vista upgrade

Press START - Printers and faxes - right click Tally Line Matrix T6050 Printer - select Printing Preferences - find menu Paper size, select paper with size 15"x12". If not found, select used define or customize - insert paper size (width and height) - OK.

Set paper size on Microsoft office word 2007 - select Page Layout - Margins - Custom Margins - select tab Paper - on Paper size, select Custom size - insert height and width paper (15"x12") - OK.

Hopefully help

Use 1524x5000mm and select remove top bottom white margins from the driver.This should fix the preview problem.

on your msworl click print,

1.0 properties
2.0 paper size just drag to the bottom one
3.0 click costumise paper
4.0 click ok

Thanks!

The 1280 isn't compatible with 11x14 paper. You can either use legal size (8.5x14) or ledger size (11x17), but you can't customize it to use 11x14.

The best solution would be to print onto 11x17 paper and then cut it to 11x14.

1. Open the Printers or Printers and Faxes folder in Control Panel.
2. Right mouse click the Brother printer and left click "Printing Preferences".
3. Next to Paper Size, select "User Defined..." for Paper Size.
4. On the User Defined Size dialog, type a "Custom Paper Size Name".
5. Enter the Width and Height of the paper.Make sure the width and Height are between the ranges listed on the window.
6. Click Save
7. Click Ok new paper size will be listed next to paper size
8. Click the apply to Save

Thank you for using FixYa!

Do have a nice day and please remember to rate this solution.

Hi,
If you go to your printer properties, preferences or advanced, on the Main menu, is paper sizes,
click the little tab, look at the sizes list,
scroll to the bottom, and you will see.
Custom sizes by User, create your User Defined cusom size.

check your paper tray is setup correctly.

should be good now.
Regards
Richard.

I had to seek Help several times, and then work through the steps a few times before I learned the overly complex HP method for setting custom sizes (I never thought I would have anything good to say about Dell printers, but it was MUCH easier to set custom sizes on my old Dell than on this HP C7180).
Anyway, it sounds as though you are nearly there. After you set the size and save the name, you must click OK, then click OK in the Document Properties window. Then close any open windows, like "Document Properties" or "Print Pictures", and start over from "Pictures" or whatever photo browser you are using. Chose an image and click "Print". Under Printer, chose "C7100 series", not "...series fax". Under Paper size chose "More". Your new custom size should now be the last size listed (although, it has shown up as the first size a couple of times, ...go figure). BTW, I am using Windows Vista.
Hope this helps.

There are two different ways to create a custom page size within the Epson printer driver on Windows 2000 or XP. The method you need to use will vary depending on what type of driver is installed.
CREATING A CUSTOM PAPER SIZE IN SERVER PROPERTIES
This method will create a new page size accessible by all printer drivers installed in Windows.
1. Open the PRINTERS (2000) or PRINTERS and FAXES (XP) window.
2. Click on FILE, then select SERVER PROPERTIES.
3. On the FORMS tab, place a check beside CREATE A NEW FORM.
4. Input a new name for the paper size. Enter the desired height and width, following the existing format (#.##in).
5. Click SAVE or SAVE FORM to add the new form size to the list, then close SERVER PROPERTIES.
6. Right click on the printer name and left click PRINTING PREFERENCES.
7. Look for PAPER SIZE. (Depending on the driver in use, this will be found on the MAIN tab, the PAPER tab, or under the ADVANCED button). Select your custom paper size from the list.
8. Click APPLY to save this setting, or OK in Windows XP.
NOTE: If your new custom size is not available on the list of preset paper sizes, it indicates that the new size is either too large or too small for the driver in use.
CREATING A CUSTOM PAPER SIZE WITHIN THE EPSON DRIVER
This method will create a custom size within the Epson printer driver only.
1. Open the PRINTERS (2000) or PRINTERS AND FAXES (XP) window.
2. Right click your Epson printer name and left click PRINTING PREFERENCES.
3. On the MAIN or PAPER tab, select USER DEFINED from the PAPER SIZE drop down box.
4. Enter the new custom size and give it a name. Click SAVE to save the new size and OK to return to MAIN.
5. Click APPLY to save the changes (OK in Windows XP).

When you go to print go in properties go to paper size the go to user defined and put the size you want the paper to be.

Hey osmund, You want to use your paper size which is 8.5 x 13" but in the custom paper size you are finding 8.4 x 14". Am I right. So, where is the problem my dear. Be sure, that your document size is in 8.5 x 13". Give Print command with custom size, it will print on that size you want.
