new form isn't visible in the Printing Preferences
Hi all,
I've installed HP LaserJet 1000 on Windows Vista Home Premium (which runs on a Dell notebook). I've to add two custom print sizes 1)- 9x3 2)- 3x9. So in order to do that I went to Start Settings Printers Right click Server Properties and I added and saved these two forms However, when I go to Start Settings Printers Right click on 'hp laserjet 1000' Click 'Printing Preferences' then I select the "Paper" tab from the top within the "Paper" tab there is this drop-down besides "Size is" I click on this drop-down but I don't see sizes that I just defined as new forms. So my problem is that I want to print using custom sizes i.e. a)-9x3 and b)- 3x9 using 'hp laserjet 1000' on vista premium home. How do I go about that? Please help me. I've lost enough hair and I've thoroughly searched internet but nothing worked. I will appreciate all the help.

I don't see that the Laser 1000 driver was included in Vista so I can't look
at the GPD The Custom_size field in the text based GPD for the printer will filter forms outside the range defined in this file. Look in \system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 for the GPD of this device and open the file in notepad to view the allowed dimensions for the printer. If the GPD name is not obvious open the .inf file in the location you have the print drivers copied for installation to view the GPD name. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
