Hp C7280 Printing on custom paper size & card template?

Hello,
 I have a Hp c7280 all-in-one connected to a laptop running vista. I am trying to print some greeting cards on card stock I ordered (5 1/4" x 10 1/2"). I can't seem to get this to work. The size does not seem to be available to select, but surely there is a way to print to a custom size. Help!
 Also, does anyone know if there is a template or the best way to go about print cards with a picture on the front and text on the back?
Thank you!
Brandon

You can set-up a custom size using Printing Preferences > Features > Size.
Don't forget to give your custom form a name.
Also take a look at Avery DesignPro 5.4 software.

  • Konica Minolta magicolor 7450 Unable to print to Custom paper sizes

    Hi
    I have a Konica Minolta magicolor 7450 laser printer that (since switching to mac from windows) is unable to print to Custom paper sizes (entered in the print dialog box from within photoshop CS3) and nothing will print from illustrator CS3 at all.
    I have OS 10.5.2 with the 10.1 photoshop update, and the 13.0.2 illustrator update.
    When I use to use windows xp & photoshop CS2 I didn't seem to have trouble with this function, but since jumping over to mac & CS3, I can't print on any paperstock other than the defult sizes listed (which it dose perfectly) - I've re downloaded & installed the printers driver, downloaded & installed a firmware update for the printer and tried printing with a network cable & usb cable - all with no luck. I've also tried entering in the custom paper size in the printers LCD panel & setting in as default but it still wants to print on A4 or A3 paper...
    Any ideas out there would be appreciated!

    so I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days & nights now trying to figure out why I couldnt print on custom paper sizes - I've just now hit the "help" icon in the print dialog box and found this:
    "Creating a custom page size
    If you want to print on unusual size paper, such as an odd-size envelope or card, you may be able choose the paper’s size from the Paper Size pop-up menu. To find the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose File > Page Setup, if available. Otherwise, choose File > Print.
    If you can’t find the size you need, you can create your own custom paper size.
    To create a custom page size:
    Open the document you want to print.
    Choose File > Page Setup, if it’s available. Choose Page Attributes from the Settings pop-up menu, and then choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu.
    Choosing Any Printer ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.
    If Page Setup is not available, choose File > Print.
    If the Print dialog contains only two pop-up menus and some buttons across the bottom, click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu.
    Choose Manage Custom Sizes from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
    Click the Add button.
    Type a name for the paper size.
    Enter values in the Paper Size and Printer Margins field."
    All I had to change was the "any printer" setting from my (konica minolta) printers name to "Any Printer"!! now my custom paper sizes are printing fine and dandy!! phew!!!!!!!!

  • Can't print using custom paper size for HP6520

    I'm trying to print Hobby Lobby RSVP cards for a wedding. The size is 5.5" X 8.25". My HP6520 keeps giving me an error that the printer has detected a different size of paper and it won't print. I've gone to Custom and set the size to match, but it still won't print. I have the paper in the bottom tray.

    Hi @Saltman1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you cannot print on a Hobby Lobby RSVP card size is 5.5" X 8.25" with your HP Photosmart 6520 on Windows 8. I am happy to look into this for you!
    According to your printer's specifications, this is an unsupported card size for this printer. The supported card sizes are:
    Card type
    Card size
    3 x 5 in Index
    76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
    4 x 6 in Index
    101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
    5 x 8 in Index
    127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
    However, as a workaround, you might be able to assign an alternate driver by going to this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R, and then doing a custom size print by going to this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
    Otherwise, I would suggest getting the proper size of paper for this printer as indicated in the chart above.
    Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • How do I get OS X to ask printer for custom paper size

    I am printing postcards.  These are 1/4 of a letter sheet, or 5.5" wide x 4.25" tall.   
    I have a commercial grade HP Laserjet 4350, and I've configured that size in its custom menu for tray 1 (the envelope feeder tray). The printer is happy.
    I've also set a custom paper size in the MacOS, that I've called "Postcard Quarterpage" and I have that selected in the print dialog.  In fact I made it default.
    However, under Paper Handling, it says "Destination paper size: Suggested paper: US Letter" and this is greyed out.  If I check "Scale to fit paper size" which I Do Not Want, then I can pick a variety of sizes.  However my custom size is not in the list. 
    This happens on all applications, so it is definitely OS X Mountain Lion (latest patch).
    Anyway, the upshot is MacOS requests US LETTER size from the printer, so the printer goes "Take this postcard stock out and gimme US LETTER".    The printer can detect paper sizes.  If I try to give it postcards anyway, it blows an error and won't print, which is what it should do.
    How do I get OS X to tell the printer "Gimme 5.5x4.25" like I've instructed it? 

    Hi there Wolf!
    I have a couple of articles here that I believe will help you out with your question. First, here is an article with some information on custom paper sizes:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Manage custom paper sizes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10748
    Note that in that article, it states:
    Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers.
    The reason for that is because this is controlled by the driver for the individual printer. You will want to make sure you have the latest version of the printer driver installed on your computer. More information on this can be found in the following article:
    Printer and scanner software available for download
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    It might also be helpful to reset your printing system to see if that will resolve the issue. More information on this process can be found here:
    Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Check Printing on Custom Paper size

    Hi All,
    I am using RTF template to print checks using XML publisher. I generated the PDF file and it prints fine on a regular 8.5 * 11 letter size paper.
    When I print on real check which is 8.5 * 7 size, it does not print correctly. I am using the HP regular printer.
    Do I need to define a custom size and change the RTF template. Can someone send me the steps they have to do to print on real checks, I would greatly appreciate.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I do not have problems with the layout. My issue is how to print on a 8.5 * 7 size check paper. The printer knows only the standard paper sizes. We need to create a new custom size paper setting that the printer can understand. I need some help on this.
    I was hoping someone would have gone through this trouble to make it work.
    Thanks.

  • Trouble printing on custom paper sizes

    I have a project that requires a print on a 5" x 20.5" sheet of paper. I have the MG5320 inkjet printer. I created two of the same images, one with photoshop and the other with word. I setup my page as 5" H x 20.5" W, and tried printing in landscape mode with no luck. The print only prints about 6" of the middle of the image on the leading side of the paper. I have tried various paper settings and orientations, as reversing the dementions. The largest print I can get is on a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. I used the rear tray loader. I am working on a iMac running the latest OS. Are these printers capable of printing banner type prints? Any help will help. Thanks

    I'm sorry to say that you won't be able to print to a 5" x 20.5" sheet of paper.  The maximum paper size that the PIXMA MG5320 support is 8.5" x 11.7."  You may want to visit a local print shop for assistance with a banner print.

  • Portrait printing problem on custom paper size

    Hi,
    i want to print on custom paper size - 500x700mm, but cant set custom paper size straight in Illustrator, only in printer driver. When I set it up and print file, all shapes are smaller on print than in file! Same thing happens with 320x450mm size. After some searching i tried to print it in landscape (wider side in printer) and everything is ok!!! but when i get back to portrait it is all smaller again :/
    On pre-intalled A4 size everything is ok.
    Can anyone help me, i want to print on 700x500mm but my printer is only 600mm wide ;/
    Tried to change any possible fit, resize and rotate option throughout app, system and in printer with no success.
    Specs:
    Mac OS 10.9 (Retina MBP 15)
    Illustrator CC and CS5 (tried on both)
    HP DesignJet 510 (CH336A)

    Yeah, HP tech support is iffy at best.
    I think you're on the right track.
    I don't think the issue is Illustrator. In my experience, the Art Board feature is exactly what is warranted for custom page sizes.
    I also wouldn't think it is an OS issue, as the drivers need to conform to OS development rules. If the driver "says" it can do it, it SHOULD do it. If it doesn't, that's not the OS's fault.
    In cases where you're trying to go "outside" the page-size presets of the printer driver, this is where people encounter problems, which is why I think the issue is the print driver. My solution has been to use an existing page-size preset, and hand-trim after printing. But in quantity prints, this becomes a pretty serious problem.
    One other thought. Someone else on this forum found that they could use custom page sizes (with certain printers) if they always fed the paper in its "tall" position, rather than feeding it in "wide." This might require you to rotate artwork in ai, I'm not sure. But it's worth a try in attempting to get your custom page size to print properly.
    Good luck.

  • HP Photosmart C4488 all-in-one custom paper size issue.

    Hello, I just bought a new HP photosmart C4488 from the store. Not exactly just, few days back. I need prints on custom paper sizes. Heres my problem
    I have a paper, plain paper, of dimensions 11.2x19.1 cms (measured by normal drawing scale). I designed an image in Photoshop with the same dimensions and 300 dpi resolution. But when I try setting the custom settings to that dimensions, I can't press OK. See the attached image for more clarity.  Dimensions in the screenshot are different, but still I can't press OK there!
    "Windows cannot detect any keyboard attached to the computer. Please press any key to fix the problem"

    I had this same problem and discovered that what I had to do was give my custom size a name, then after you do that, you get the 'save' button and it will be listed among the seletions availabe under 'more.' I am not sure why it wouldn
    t have been possible to have put a little note saying to name your custom size as the current method isn't intuitive. On the other hand, now that I have the size listed, I can't figure out how to actually get it to work as when I choose it, it tells me the size is incompatible with the paper type and does that for all the normal paper types! So I hope it works and better luck to you on this than I am having..

  • How do I print on a greeting card in landscape when I can't save custom paper size?

    I have a J6450 running on XP SP3 with the latest drivers and patches installed.  I have greeting card stock measuring 6.5 by 10.0 inches and a Microsoft Word document with a custom paper size matching the that stock prints in landscape mode.  The printer error is "Paper Mistmatch.  Paper size or type is incorrect."  I have followed the suggestions on the HP support page, changing the Print, Properties, Features options to show "Other greeting card", but can't define a custom paper size to match the stock.  The Save option is not available.  What do I need to do to make this work? 

    Here is a link to a HP document for adjusting several settings that may help with your issue.

  • Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

    Hi All,
    I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
    Thanks for any advice for me.
    Han

    Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details.

    Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

  • How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer.

    How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer. I am using Windows XP home edition. The Custom option itself is not appearing in the process of selecting paper sizes in Printing preferences. I have installed this printer just today, but I bought it eight months back in Dubai. Could there be chance that since I purchased it in Dubai and I am using it in India, the software's not functioning properly. 
    Can you please help me with this problem immediately? Reply soon...

  • Help with Java Printing-Custom paper sizes

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print documents with custom paper sizes out of java.
    I can print fine when I don't try to set the MediaSize to a custom size or when I use already named constants like: "MediaSizeName.JIS_B4"
    The error message I get is this:
    java.lang.ClassCastException
         at javax.print.attribute.AttributeSetUtilities.verifyAttributeValue(Unknown Source)
         at javax.print.attribute.HashAttributeSet.add(Unknown Source)
         at hello.Printy.printDocument(Printy.java:103)
         at hello.Printy.main(Printy.java:135)
    The offending line(103) looks like this:
    pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));The function that its from looks like this:
    public  void printDocument()
    try
              System.out.println("input file name is");
         System.out.println(inputFileName);
    PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
    PrintService printService[] = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pras);
    PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    PrintService printPrintService = null;
    // didn't work pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH) );
    PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,printService, defaultService, flavor, pras);
    if (service != null)

    pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));
    //pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH) );
         System.out.println("Doc has been set to custom size");
    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, null);
    job.print(doc, pras);
         System.out.println("any doc for you?");
    catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    }Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to java but I've programmed a bunch in c++.

    Hmm ... no real help, but I found this note in the API:
    MediaSize is not yet used to specify media. Its current role is as a mapping for named
    media (see MediaSizeName). Clients can use the mapping method
    MediaSize.getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName) to find the physical dimensions of
    the MediaSizeName instances enumerated in this API. This is useful for clients which
    need this information to format & paginate printing.

  • Preview buggy when printing multiple pages per sheet using a custom paper size

    I have a square book I've designed and I've printed the pages to a PDF. Now I'd like to re-print the pages so you can see facing pages together exactly like when, in preview, you select "View > Two Pages".
    Each page is 12x12 so I'd like to re-print them to be 24x12 (24-wide)
    I was previously able to do this in preview (prior to mountain lion) using the "layout > two pages per sheet" option with a custom paper size but when trying with Mountain Lion, the print-dialog preview doesn't match the output when saved as pdf; pages either get shrunk or cropped without my permission and it generally seems to be buggy. I've been playing around with it for over an hour and can't get two pages side-by-side to take up a full 24x12 custom virtual page when saved as PDF
    I would expect the print preview to accurately display what will be printed (saved as PDF) and I am guessing that maybe the printer selected (HP all-in-one) is affecting the preview and save to pdf options?
    Can someone tell me how to achieve a printed rendition of the "view > two pages" layout?

    I have a little more information. I turned on "single hairline" border and as you can see, it's converting my square pages into "US Letter" pages BEFORE applying them two-to-a-page. So it's using my selection of "Paper Size" as both the source and destination paper size, rather than just the destination size, because my source is obviously 12x12 square (confirmed by looking at page properties in preview). Apple, please fix this
