Printing a page size not in the printer's pull down menu

Hi! I have a Photsmart C6180, which I'm running on Windows 7. I'm trying to print out invitations on 5.5 x 8.5 cards, but I don't see that size in the pull down menu on the print screen. I have printed that size on that printer before, but that was with my old computer which ran XP. What gives? Does anyone have any idea how to create a custom page size for the printer?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi there @shirleywas
Welcome to the Community
I read about how you are trying to print on 13 x 6 paper size, and are not finding the options to select this size within your options.
After checking out the printers Specifications, I see that the printer does not support the size you are looking for specifically however, you can check out the links below to see if you are able to create a custom size to get the size you want. This may not work but could be worth a shot to try it out.
I am unsure of which operating system you're running so I have included links that will include:
Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X here: Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 here: Re: printing on 5.5x8.0 paper
Have a great Wednesday!

I can't see the font names in the TYPE - Font pull down menu?

I can't see the font names in the TYPE - Font pull down menu? The fonts are in there, but I can only see the name as I scroll past each one - almost like they are white text???

view,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

It has been described on this Adobe page:

It may also depend on the monitor, as it appears from post #29 by Loncar in the same thread.
Obviously, this also influences some other things so there may be a downside to it.

Why not instruct MacOS 10.10 users in creating a new folder to use the wheel icon pull-down menu ...

Your instructions on creating folders aren't correct. for my Mac, saying nothing about having to
Open the Bookmarks pull-down menu
Select 'Unsorted Bookmarks'
Go to the top 'Wheel' icon
THEN you can create a new folder, and other good things
Bit of a pain. Otherwise, Firefox is great!

* Bookmarks created via a click on the star in the location bar are stored by default in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
Another click on the blue highlighted star allows to edit the properties and move the bookmark to another folder.
* Bookmarks created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl + D) are stored at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
In the left pane in the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) there are three folders in the "All Bookmarks" folder:
* "Bookmarks Toolbar"
* "Bookmarks Menu"
* "Unsorted Bookmarks"
You can add new bookmarks to one of those three Bookmarks folders, but you can not create a new folder or add bookmarks at the root level ("All Bookmarks") or remove one of the three root folders.
In the Bookmarks Manager you can also create a new folder via the Organize menu.
In the Bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac) you can do that via the right-click context menu.
There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.
* The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
* The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
* The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

How can I display only the Data Logging pull down menu on my LV front panel?

Is it possible to hide all unused pull down menu on my front panel vi like File, Edit, View etc.. and only
display the pull down menu for the Data logging?!

Hey,
You can build your own runtime menu (Edit>runtime menu) and then e.g. only display the application items you want to.

Paper source by page size not doing the trick

We are using Acrobat X on Windows 7.
Are there printing presets that allow for 8.5x11 to print as is, but limits larger pages to 11x17?
We have to deliver large PDFs to a commercial printer (so we'd like to save presets to file) for them to print a "book" for us. The pages we have compiled are of various sizes: 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, 23 x 24, etc.
Our printer has 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 paper only, and so we'd like to limit the largest pages in our PDF to 11 x 17. When we use Paper source by page size preset, the 23 x 24's throw an error -- they want A4 paper.
We don't want to scale the 8.x5 x 11's up to 11 x 17.
Is there a solution?

Hi Andrew,
Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.

How do I get a website in the website lines pull down menu?

If I click on the location bars (the place where http addresses are shown) down arrow thepull down menu has a list of a dozen websites that I have been to. Some are very old and have not been visited for over one year. Some have been visited last week. None of the websites I have visited yesterday (this week) are there. Why? There is one wbsite that I would like to see here because I go to it all the time, but it never appears; how do I get it to be there?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

IWeb not showing .Mac web gallery albums in Web Widgets pull down menu

I'm trying to update a webpage and insert a .Mac Web gallery album using the Web Widgets pull down menu. The problem is the menu isn't offering/showing ALL of my .Mac Web Gallery albums. It shows some and I can insert those, however, it isn't showing all of them. I've tried refreshing the list in iPhoto, but it still won't show in iWeb '08. I've even given it several days to refresh, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Nice, didn't think of that. I went into iPhoto and, in the Settings, changed it from being only viewable to restricted groups. I opened it up to "Everyone" and, back in iWeb, there it appeared in the Web Widget pull down menu. I then inserted the album and published the web page. I then went back to iPhoto re-instated the restrictions in the Advanced settings.
Thanks.

Image does not diplay when using "Pull Down Menu with image"?

Hello,
Yes, it seems pretty obvious that you would have to replace all for of them otherwise in that condition the generic one would show up.
But to spell it out you need to replace in . List Template Current , List Template Current with Sub List Items , List Template Noncurrent , List Template Noncurrent with Sub List Items.
This is one of those thngs you should have just tried it took me longer to type all this out than it would have taken you to test.

The pull down menu or icon for printing does not respond. The only way I can print a web page is by right clicking with the mouse and selecting print? Your comments please

When I try to print a web page by selecting the print icon or by the pull down menu -print, nothing happens. It does not respond. I have to right mouse click and then select print, which then works. Why is this happening

Try using the Add Bookmark Here ² extension. You can drag the Add Bookmark window to the size you want to see. <br />

Creating a custom page size not working

Hi,
I have Pages 3.0.2 and I wanted to create an PDF for an ad that our playgroup wants to submit in a local paper. The ad needs to be 10cm x 6.2cm so I went to the Inspector dialog and the Document tab and then selected Page Setup. In the new dialog I selected Manage Custom Sizes under the Paper Size drop down and then created a new size by clicking on the + icon. This allowed me to specify a Page size of 10cm width and 6.2cm height. I selected user defined printer margins and entered 0.25 for all margins. I set a name for the page size as 100by62Ad.
All good so far, but now when I select this new custom size in the Page Size drop down I can see the page size and underneath the drop down it says 10 by 6.2cm and click on OK the Document Inspector flashes then shows the A4 sizes again.
Nothing I do seems to allow me to select the new custom size. I can select the other page sizes such as DL fine and see the new page size in the window, but my new custom size refuses to display. I have tried closing down Pages and coming back in but get the same thing. I then tried downloading another program, in this case one called "Stone Create", and selected the custom page size in that program and it worked fine. I got a small 10cm x 6.2cm document to work with.
This seems to be a bit of a bug. Has anyone else managed to work with custom page sizes?
Thanks for any assistance.
Graham

Thanks Peggy,
I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.
I have used the demo version of Stone Create to do what I needed to do with the small page size (ie. create a small ad) but it is a pain that I paid for Pages and now will need to buy something like Stone Create to do what I need. Although, that said, having used Stone Create for this little ad I must say that for the price it seems like a pretty decent program that will do a whole lot of the desktop publishing type of functions without the rather steep prices of the Adobe products. I kind of wish I had bought this program instead of Pages now.
Cheers,

I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?
When I first started I made a title page and then pasted in my first story from a .TXT file. After cleaning up I went back to the front a couple of empty lines ahead of the story and typed in the story title. Unlarged the font size and centered it, then

You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
You can do it manually though.

Since the latest update to OX I have been unable to download the contents of some emails because pages does not support the font they are created in. Is there a fix for this?

Hi, since I installed the latest update on my Mac I have been unable to open the contents of some emails because it is saying that pages does not recognise the font. For example it is saying 'some features aren't supported, the font Calibri isn't available on OS X. It was replaced with TrebuchetMS' This means that I cannot open letters from my daughters school. Is there any way round this other than getting rid of this nightmare MAC and going back to Windows!?

I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs. Why?

I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs (just a blank area where the SWF should be). When I detach the template it will play the flash file. This site will eventually be updated via Adobe Contribute. And I just discovered that when applying a template to a page that uses HTML datasets (Master/Detail),it no longer reads the Master/detail regions and displays a blank. Any thoughts?
[Moved to Dreamweaver forum by moderator]

Firstly, you shouldn't really 'apply' a template to a page, you should create a child page by going to FILE>NEW>Page from Template. Too many things can happen when applying a template the way you are doing it. eg:; editable and non-editable regions not matching up and being asked where to place these regions and in all likelihood, you end up with 2 or more of the same region.
When a swf file is inserted into a page, a corresponding Scripts folder is written automatically is stored in the root of the site - it is also linked to in the head of the document. What I believe is happening is that when you apply a template to the page, the Template has no idea that there is a swf file on the page and is not aware of the correct link to the Scripts folder. If you do a test and add the swf file to the template page itself, I bet that the links to the swf and the scripts folder are correct - because DW knows the correct path to the script file. Hence the reason the page probably works when you detach it from a template.
