Available paper sizes have changed

My printer isn't showing me the normal paper size options. In Page Setup of any application, I click the Format For popup and choose my printer (Brother HL-5250DN), but in the Paper Size popup the normal paper sizes aren't showing. I used to see Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, A5, A6, Envelope Monarch, Envelope #9, 10, 11, DL, C5, C6, etc. Now it only shows US Letter, US Legal, A4 and B5. The correct printer is chosen in the Format For popup. I went to Printer Setup Utility and chose Add Printer, and my printer is showing up in the list, but choosing it and clicking Add doesn't change anything.

R2400 Paper Size Settings in InDesign and Illustrator - Leopard 10.5.2

Since upgrading to Leopard 10.52 from Tiger 10.4.11, the "Paper Size" settings (in InDesign CS3) and the "Media Size" settings in Illustrator CS3 show some funky designations. That is, all the paper sizes have some cryptic appendages. For example, the 13x19 paper sizes are being displayed as follows:
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_3)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_11)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_12)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_13)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_31)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_32)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_33)
However, when I click on the "Page Setup..." button, the paper sizes for 13x19 are displayed correctly:
Super B (13x19 in)
Super B (13x19 in) (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper)
Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper - Borderless)
Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - Roll)
Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - RollBorderless))
Super B (13x19 in) (Manual -Front)
If I first select the needed paper size within the "Page Setup..." button and then come back out to select the Paper/Media Size outside the "Page Setup..." button, in some cases, the selected driver has changed according to what *might* be the equivalent to what was selected inside the "Page Setup..." button, but in some cases the selected driver outside the "Page Setup..." button does not change.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, which is the latest version for 10.5.2. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this issue is only occurring with InDesign and Illustrator (CS3) -- not in Photoshop CS3, Lightroom CS3, Word 2004, Excel 2004, or Apple Mail. It seems like it's only an issue for InDesign and Illustrator because they have the separate the "Page Setup..." function?
Any ideas on what's going on?

Hi, Ian --
No problem joining in, as I experienced color issues with InDesign CS3 in Tiger, before upgrading to Leopard. While my prints are not showing as much disparity as yours seem to be, the output of a file of mine containing only color swatches that was originally created in InDesign CS2 does not match the output of the same file printed from InDesign CS3. The InDesign CS2-created file was printing out off-colored and muddy looking when printed from InDesign CS3 -- very bad.
As you can read from the link below, however, when I created a new InDesign CS3 file and set up the very same color percentages for the swatches, the output from that file was MUCH better, although it is slightly darker and a little too vivid. While it's a very close match, it still does not accurately represent the true values of those color swatches.
This info may not help your situation. I hope you'll at least get some much improved results very soon.

HP 6510e not printing custom paper sizes

I have recently purchased a HP Photosmart 6510e printer. I called HP Tech support from the store where I bought the printer and specifically asked if this printer would print custom paper sizes. I was told it would. I tried to print an invitation on a paper size of 5.5 X 8.5. The printer keeps giving me an paper mismatch error. The paper size shows up in the list of paper sizes, but has an exclamation Point beside it. If I click on teh paper size it changes to 8.5 X 11.
i am using a PC with Windows 7 OS.
Thanks.

Hi,
The Officejet 6510 software drivers for Windows does not have an option for custom paper sizes. I checked for the paper size (5.5x8.5) you were trying to print on and it is not an option under the paper sizes. The only option is probably to have your printer replaced with a comparable Laserjet printer. Laserjet printer have a different software package and the one I checked (Laserjet Pro M275) has a Custom option.
Here is a link to a list of Laserjet printers

Can't change paper size in Print module

When I click on Page Setting in the Print module I get a pull-down menu that has options for Printer, Presets, Layout, Pages per Sheet, Layout Direction, Border, and Two Sides but there is no option available for changing paper size. This was not a problem before I updated to 1.2. How do I get that option back? Thanks.

Have you downloaded and installed the latest Driver for the Epson R1800.
It has been said that it is best, even if you have a ppc to download the latest IntelMac Driver to install for that printer, for best results.

Change default paper size to A4 Two Sided Margins

My default paper size (System Preferences > Printers & Scanners) is currently set to A4.
However, I think this is giving me problems when I try to print duplex (HP Photosmart 5520). If I select two-sided printing in the print dialog (from any application) I get an error saying that the margins have to be adjusted.
I think this is preventing me from setting two-sided as the default, or even including it in presets. If I try to include it in a preset, next time I select the preset, two sided printing remains off.
How can I change my default paper size to "A4, Two Sided Margins"? There is an option in the print dialog to change it (only for that current print job) but this particular paper size/margins is not available in System Preferences where you select the default paper size.
Is there something I can install to make this option show up in System Preferences? Can I make a custom paper size for it?

You may be able to change the defaults by following the instructions of PAHU in the thread linked below, but you're on your own as to the consequences.
How to STOP default two sided printing

How do I change the default paper size from "Letter" to "A4 "on an P1006 (Windows 7)

I have just reformatted my computer (Window 7 Professional - 64 bits) computer and then re-installed my HP Laserjet P1006 (downloading the driver from HP website) Even though I have changed the settings EVERYWHERE to A4 format - including the measurements to show millimeters - and even though all settings indicate that the format has been changed correctly, printed documents still come out as if printed in Letter format.The only place in printer settings and preferences that I can find where it still says Letter is under in the "General" tab (right click the default printer > "Printer Properties") where it under the heading "Paper available" says "Letter". And...I don't know where/how to change that setting. However on my second printer of the same model that I am using for another computer , the settings also show Letter in this place, and that computer can - despite that - still print in A4 format....so this may not be the problem. Can anyone PLEASE help !

Hi Gemini02 ! Thanks for trying to help, but that is not solving it.
And actually, I found out how to resolve the problem already:
1) Open up aq Word Doc + go to... FILE > Options > Advance > Print
2) UN-tick the following item:   "Scale content for A4 or 8,5 x 11" paper sizes" + OK
I know it doesn't make sense, but it works.

Can't change paper size on Officejet x64

I am unable to change the paper size on this printer. I need to use an 8.5 x 5.5 format to make a greeting card. Actually, I am not seeing any other options for different sizes. Using the HP Solution Center I get the message below. Also, it does not recognize my other printer that I am using. Thank you in advance for your prompt response and hopeful resolution to this issue.

Please to meet you , I may be able to help you with your printer software for your Officejet 5745. It looks like your Solution Centre is having some troubles, have you tried the Print and Scan Doctor yet? HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. I recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor, if it doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages you receive. I recommend also Uninstalling the Printer Software. You may also want to Delete files using Disk Cleanup - make sure to put check marks in all of the selection boxes when available. Other places software drivers may hide would be in your Device Manager. To Open the Device Manager:
1) Click Start (Or Windows Icon) and enter 'Device Manager' into the Search field.
2) Click on the Device Manager.
3) You may want to click on View, at the top of the windows, and then Show hidden devices.
4) Expand the device types, and check for any driver related to your printer.
5) To remove a device from device manager, right-click the device name from the list and then click Uninstall. * For more information see Device Manager Information for Windows 8. Then download the newest version of your software here; HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.

Changing Paper size does not change page break?

I am using Oracle Report R6i.
I have created a matrix report showing months horizontally and items vertically. By default, the report displays a vertical line (Page Break Line) at 8 inches (as shown in Ruler).
I change the paper size in Page Setup Menu but still the page break line displaying at 8 inches due to which only 03 months are displaying per page at Landscape mode. My page size is : 210x230 cm.
How can I extend that page break line so that atleast 6 months to be displayed per page.
Regards,
Luqman

Changing the size used by the printer with the page setup dialog does not affect how Reports formats the output. You need to change Reports page size for this.
In 6i, the page size for Reports is controlled by properties against the Section objects (header, main, trailer) in the navigator.
In 2.5 you would set the vertical and horizontal page size in the Reports property palette for all sections. With the introduction of individual sections in 6i, each section can have it's own page size.
In your example you probably want to change the page size against the "main section" to 13" x 8.26" to get the report to format in Landscape. Also remember to set the ORIENTATION parameter or property to "Landscape" so that the printer is set to Landscape as well.

How do I change the default paper size from letter to A4 on an F2480 attached to a Windows 7 system?

I have an F2480 attached to a Windows 7 machine. I have used the Solution Center to check that I have the latest printer driver installed. How do I get the software to understand that the paper loaded in the printer is A4 not letter, and always will be? I found an earlier question about this on this board where DexterM suggested going in through Printing Preferences. I have done that but it won't let me save A4 as the paper size for all future use. Also in that conversation HPPooper suggests editing the Registry, but the keyword he references ("DsDriver") does not exist on my system.

Hi bobellina,
I did some testing and think I may have found a solution:
1. Open Devices and Printers
2. Right click the printer and select Printing Preferences
3. Click on Features tab
4. Click on Sizes and choose "More"
5. Choose "Metric" or "English" at the top (depending on the size options you want available)
6. Select the paper size you want as default, then click OK
7. Click Apply, then OK on the remaining window
8. Right click the printer again and select "Set as Default"
This should make whatever paper size you select be "default" in whatever application you are printing from (unless the application has a default override). Paint and Notepad left the printer defaults, but Word 2010 overrode them.

Can I programmatically change the printer paper size from ActionScript?

Hi,
I'm a newbie Flash/ActionSript developer and I have been searching for answers for a while with no luck. I wonder if I can get some pointers from this forum.
I'm trying to programmatically print a movie clip to 8.5" x 11" plain paper regardless of the current paper size setting in the printer. e.g if the user's printer is currently set to use paper size A4, can I change the setting to Letter (8.5" x 11") from ActionScript at runtime? I use PrintJob class for printing the movieclip.
According to the ActionScript online API spec ( http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context =LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002066.html), I can only READ the paper size setting after the call to PrintJob.start. I can't believe that we are not allowed to change the setting. Maybe I missed something here. Can somebody help me out?
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone help with printer options on iPad mini, can I change layout paper size?

I am trying to change the printer options on my iPad mini so that I can print on legal size paper, I also would like to change to portrait layout. Is this an option when printing from an iPad Mini?

Chad-
I think the same problem exists with all the iOS devices. I suggest you look for a free App from the manufacturer of your printer. It will have limitations, but may include the ability to change paper size and image size and orientation.
There are other printing Apps such as Print n Share that can do that, but they are not free.
The problem you may face, is that such printing Apps can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. If you can use their built-in programs, they may meet your needs.

Paper size changing from letter to A4

I have been trying to print PDF files that were created as A4 size documents in our office in Italy. When I go to print with the paper size set to Letter the printer says Please insert A4 size paper into manual feed tray. I have letter size in tray 2 and when I insert the letter size into the manual feed tray it prints fine. The printer is a HP LaserJet 4050. I am using Adobe 9. The strange part is everyone but myself and one other person, is printing fine to the same printer and the same PDF files. I have tried reinstalling the printer and Acrobat but same issues. Has anyone ever seen this or have any ideas why it would switch size even though I select Letter? I tried installing a different PDF viewer and it prints fine so is there a setting in Acrobat for this issue? I really need to be able to print these PDF's without having to run to the printer and feed paper in each time.
Matthew

Hi, Thanks for the hint regarding the profile - I just updated...and for responding!
The System Preference for printing is set to A4, really that is not the issue, it is rather just one of the examples of the settings in the Address Book print window that are lost after printing.
*Every time* I open the print dialog for printing of a contact the default setting is for US Letter, if I click on any additional fields to print (such as url, company etc), or change the font size from "Regular" to "Large"; the next time I want to print another card those settings are lost. As mentioned, I tried to save those settings in "Presets" under "save as", but upon reopening the print dialog and selecting the newly saved Preset all setting have reverted back to the defaults (US Letter, regular font size, no selection of my preference for printing the notes and company name etc).

How do I change the default paper size for printing?

I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2 weeks ago

In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
"about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
"paper_size" gives a few results
What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

Available paper sizes have changed
