Cannot set paper size

I want to print photos and try to set the paper size to 4 x 6 photo paper.When I set it, press OK - and then go in again - the paper size has been reset back to A4.I've tried to set the paper size to photo paper 4 x 6 in many different ways in the printer driver but it always changes the setting back to A4 - even though the printer is loaded with photo paper.What to do?

Setting paper size for multi-tab numbers file?

i have a (currently) 3 tab spreadsheet that someone is working with me on. two of the tabs i print to 12 x 18 and one of the tabs i print to 8 x11.
right now i have to open inspector, set paper size to 8 x 11, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, open print dialog, select 8 x 11 printer, print the pages from this tab. then i go back to inspector, select 12 x 18, select next tab, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, open print dialog, select 12 x 18 printer, print the pages. then i select the next tab, go to print view and slider-scale to appropriate size so it will print to single width, and run a print to 12 x 18 paper.
this gets me all three documents if i didn't make a mistake somewhere and forget to select the correct printer or open inspector or whatever.
can someone tell me whether in numbers i can set a PAGE SIZE for a TAB (as i have done above) and have it stick or does the selection of a page size in numbers apply to the whole document? i keep sending this to my bookkeeper and getting it back and this is a whole lot of aggravation that is really messing up my workflow and there seems like i should be able to find a way to streamline this.
note: i am actually /receiving/ xls from my bookkeeper (and exporting to xls when i send it to her) and we also need to keep the tabs together b/c one tab is pulling info from the others but i am wondering if there could be some kind of workaround.
i'd like to ask her to just print the pages to pdf before she sends it to me but this is an added layer of work on her end that is not going to happen. also, i /can/ open in excel (i have excel for the mac) so if this works easier by printing from excel i will do that.
any experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS

hi Y. BIG time thank you for this. i was not aware this was such an issue. i definitely cannot have any ambiguities in my spreadsheet and customizing it in numbers is the whole reason i am spending this time formatting (i.e. to make it intuitive and visual).
that said, if accepting excel and then exporting to excel will cause problems i absolutely cannot have this.
can you help me a little more on what the problems are? i have already got a file with two tabs directly imported from Quickbooks (by my book keeper in excel) and a tab that she set up that pulls data from these tabs - and then i have MY tab that i have been customizing and proofing and fixing as i go along. more info on this work below.
are there commands i can run to clean this up?
what is considered OK to do in numbers if i am accepting excel (printing? adding new numerical entries)?
THANK YOU
background: right now i am /mostly/ doing formatting things like adding bold outlines or adding color or whatever but i have /also/ been dragging and dropping some rows to put them in a better place and fixing some cell sums that were either left out by my book keeper or which needed to be added to check THEIR work. are you saying that by doing this i am setting myself up for various formatting issues such as merged cells?
if so, once i finish the format of the spreadsheet and the tabs i can only exclusively open in numbers if this is necessary. are there some commands i can run to "clean up" issues? for instance can i go around the various tabs and unmerge cells to clean things up?
also, i definitely cannot split up tabs into individual documents as the customized spreadsheets are pulling numbers from a set of tabs that are quickbooks imports....

Unable to set paper size in SSRS (it always remain Letter)

I am making a report in SSRS (SQL Server 2012). The main report has many sub reports under it. All main and sub reports have the following properties:
Orientation: Landscape
Margins: Custom
Paper Size: A4
When I export the report in Word, it always shows Paper Size as "Letter" and I have to change it to "A4" in it. Orientation and Margins are correctly exported. What's the problem with Paper Size? Why doesn't it export correct Paper Size
as defined in SSRS which is "A4" and always resort to "Letter"?
I see another use has same problem but no solution was identified.

EDIT
I just created a new basic test report with one Tablix in it. It is also showing same behavior i.e. even though I have set Paper Size to A4 when I export the report in Word, it changes to "Letter".

Hi Frank,
I viewed XML file for a report. The xml file doesn't store paper size name.
<PageHeight>8.5in</PageHeight>
<PageWidth>11in</PageWidth>
<LeftMargin>0.25in</LeftMargin>
<RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
<TopMargin>0.5in</TopMargin>
<BottomMargin>0.5in</BottomMargin>
Thanks.
Remember to mark as an answer if this post has helped you.
This is my master report file and looks like it has correct values. Because orientation is landscape hence height is smaller than width in my case.
<PageHeight>8.27in</PageHeight>
<PageWidth>11.69in</PageWidth>
<LeftMargin>1in</LeftMargin>
<RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
<TopMargin>0.25in</TopMargin>
<BottomMargin>0.25in</BottomMargin>

Cannot change paper size

I'm using CS6 on a MacBook with Yosemite (10.10.1) and an Epson R2880 a3 printer. However, when trying to print anything from Photoshop (CS6) I do not appear to have the facility to change the paper size, meaning I'm stuck with A4 only. Any ideas how to resolve? I downloaded he latest driver from the Epson (UK) website but no difference.
When checking in Word the facility is there for me to print various different sizes.
Any thoughts / suggestions gratefully received

Thanks a lot. Although i find it strange that every application sets this up individually. However, I did this in all Applications that I use for printing, now it works just fine.

Set paper size for image on roll paper

Q I am trying to set the paper size for a H 30cm x W 80cm image using roll paper on an Epson R3000 printer. Computer Dell I7 64b and using Elements 9. Thank-you, John

Garry - Many thanks for the reply. I was following the usual routine but I had never needed to use the 'User defined' box previously but it appears this is vital to the whole process when using roll-paper. I also found that the paper height becomes the Length when using roll-paper. I nearly entered the paper height (as requested) as 10m (length of roll) but you need to enter the length of the actual print required or the print process will start in the middle of the 10m roll! always seems to be that little extra missing from the manuals!

How to set PAPER SIZE in PRINT VIEW

I am missing a step here in printing to Tabloid paper size.
How do I set the paper size in the actual document or on the actual sheet?
I am in Print View and I am guessing that it is showing the Sheets for my document as printing on 8 1/2 x 11 paper which appears to mean that no matter what I do - once I go to Print (like printing to Tabloid paper size) that this document will print at 8 1/2 x 11 even if it is printing on 11 x 17 paper.
I understand that I need to move the slider to get the document to fit on the paper but it appears that right now I am doing this simply to get the document to fit on 8 1/2 x 11.
Is there a setting somewhere that tells Print View what paper size to use? Is this set by Individual Sheet?
Thanks,
Jon

Ah crimeny. This is Inspector > Page?
I am getting a bit confused as to how to print on various size paper and how to SAVE THESE SETTINGS.
For EACH SHEET I have to do the following:
First I pulldown to the Printer and the Page Size in INSPECTOR
THEN I scale the Sheet Manually to fit this paper in PRINT VIEW
THEN I run PRINT?
Now what?
Is there a way to get this to Print in Color instead of Black and White?
Can I make some PRESETS somewhere that will let me print to this printer at Tabloid size in Color and then in Black and White and also make some PRESETS that will let me print 8 1/2 x 11 and 12 x 18 so I can just pulldown to these?
Thanks for any help. I'm not on a deadline but I am losing this battle apparently...

Cannot set Block Size

Hi all,
 
When I tried to create a database 11g using DBCA, I noticed the tool did not allow me to select the block size. It was automtically set to 8KB without being able to modify it.
 
Is there any reason for that?
 
os: windows xp sp2

When you create a new database you have two options when using the dbca, create it by using a seed database (by means of a cloning procedure) or create a completely new database (customized). If you choose the first option, then you must adopt the physical structure from the seed database, which by default is 8k and there is no way to change it. If you create a completely new database you can modify the block size since there is no physical structure yet.

CANNOT SET BLOCK SIZE TO 16K IN ORACLE 10.2

Has anyone tried to configure the block size to 16k in oracle 10.2? I installed 10.2 with the datawarehouse option and it set the block size to 8k. Any ideas?

Yes, but the feature is not selected by default, if I remember correctly.

HP M1522NF Twain is Unavailable in Preconfigured Scan Settings. Cannot change paper size.

Adobe X Pro
Windows 7 64
Hp LaserJet M1522NF
Only WIA driver is available in the preconfigured scan settings. I looked at the Hp LaserJet M1522 documentation, and it says:
TWAIN compatibility
TWAIN-compliant programs can scan documents directly from the product. Programs that follow the TWAIN standards should work because HP LaserJet products support the required core functions for TWAIN version 1.9 compliance. However, these programs have only limited support for extended TWAIN options, and software that requires full support, such as Adobe and Core, might not function as expected.
For programs that are not TWAIN-compliant, use the following steps as a workaround:
Use the HP LaserJet Scan software to scan the document into a folder in .TIFF format (or any other file type that the software supports).
Import the .TIFF file into the program.
This is a pretty cumbersome work around. Are there any plans for Acrobat X to fully support extended TWAIN options? Is there an an easier work around?

Is it possible to use an AppleScript to set a *custom* paper size in Word?

I've used the following script to set the paper size in Word:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
          set paper size of page setup of section 1 of active document to paper a4
end tell
but I've been unable to write a script to set a custom paper size -- does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

The gallant Pierre strikes again!!! For reasons having to do with a quirk of working with Word documents coming from a Windows machine, I ended up having to go the UI route, but I couldn't have done it without you! I actually ended up changing the Format For: popup menu instead of the Paper Size: popup menu, but this technique could be used for those who wish to chose a custom paper size:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          delay 0.5
keystroke "a" using command down
          tell application process "Microsoft Word"
                    click menu item "Page Setup..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
click pop up button 3 of window "Page Setup"
keystroke "Any"
                    delay 0.5
keystroke return
                    delay 0.5
keystroke return
delay 1
                    click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
                    tell menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
click
                              click menu item "Create Booklet" of menu 1
                    end tell

Default paper size scanning problem, LaserJet M1120n MFP

Hi, I just got a used LaserJet M1120n MFP. Installed the most up-to-date drivers form HP's website. Printing is fine over USB or LAN, however the WIA scanning driver defaults to paper size "Letter" and I can't scan A4 pages all the way. The bottom is always cut off and I get an unwanted strip besides the scanned document. Please, advise how to change the default paper size of the WIA driver to A4. I use Windows XP Pro. Looked everywhere but cannot find any settings that will allow me to change the default paper size. Any ideas?
I have been thinking, could default paper size be somehow be tied to system locale? My locale is European and all other device drivers do default to A4. I wonder how the WIA scanning driver chose to default to Letter size.
The TWAIN driver works fine (I can choose default paper size), though it is less intuitive than I expected. Too bad I can't use it over a LAN. Is there a way to calibrate the scanner for white as the background seems kind of dark?
Your suggestions and ideas are most appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, Spencer. I have used Adobe Acrobat to scan by means of the WIA driver, but when I do so the paper size selection box is dimmed (inactive) and I can't choose any paper size (nor any is preselected). I have also used Win XP's native Scanner and Camera Wizzard; it doesn't even have a paper size setting. Then I have used it with Win 7's native Windows Fax and Scan; no paper size setting here either.
Here is a useful thread on the same issue from Adobe's forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/844549
Reading around the forums I came across several posts where people discussed the impossibiity to set paper size when scanning using the WIA driver. Their problem was a bit different, though. The WIA driver had locked to size 'Legal' while they needed to scan in size 'Letter'.
The WIA interface was developed by Microsoft and here is what they have to say about the issue:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff548440%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
'Supported Scanner Paper Sizes
Although two WIA user interface components are able to display a list of page sizes to the user, there is no easy way for a WIA driver to know which page sizes a scanner supports.
Page Size in WIA Applications
There are no WIA properties that allow WIA drivers to report supported page sizes or that allow applications to specify page size directly. To communicate page size settings to a driver, an application must calculate the required size in dots per inch (dpi) and adjust the origin of the scan to conform with the registration requirements of the device.
Page Size in the Common Scanner Dialog and in the Scanner and Camera Wizard
Both the Common Scanner Dialog and the Scanner and Camera Wizard have a static table of supported page sizes in which each page size is described by its horizontal width and vertical height, both in increments of 0.001 inch. These page sizes are currently displayed only when the scanner is in document feeder mode.
The largest page size (by area) that a driver supports in page feed mode, as determined by the maximum bed size, is considered the default page size. Paper sizes that do not fit on the feeder or on the bed of the device are not offered to the user.' -- exactly my case!
Having tried the same WIA driver (developed by HP in this case) on several PC's running different WIndows OS and using non-US locale settings, I have came to the conclusion that HP may have hard coded the Letter paper size in the driver. I guess this works for North America but not in Europe where A4 is the standard size.
I guess I have to look into ways to get to that hard coded paper size setting in order to be able to make use of the driver. I don't even know if that will be possible but I'll keep on reading. Wish me luck

How to set the size of an open dialog

HI Everyone:
I cannot set the size of the open dialog.
I create a menu and menu item called "open"
The menu item "open" will call OpenFile().
However, I cannot set the size of the open dialog
Everytime when the open dialog pops up
the size isn't 500 x 500.
Does anyone know what's wrong with this program ?
Thanks a lot,
Rodger
================================================================
public void OpenFile(){
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setSize(new Dimension(500,500));
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
fc.showOpenDialog(this);
================================================================

Try this and then tell us if it worked:
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
JDialog d = new JDialog(new JFrame());
d.setSize(500, 500);
d.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
d.getContentPane().add(fc);
d.setVisible(true);

Resizing Brochure to different paper sizes

I have created a brochure using an Apple template and have my paper size as 8.5 x 11. However, since each page in the template is 2 actual pages, when I go to print, the brochure is half the size. When I try and resize the page, the brochure image remains the same size, leaving white space along the edges. How to I get my brochure images to automatically adjust to the new paper size?

OK.
Here's the preliminary result for the first (Cover) page in the template.
The part inside the thin black rectangle is the finished size. I used Oversize Tabloid as the sheet size (12x18") and centered the page on that. Your printer may want this size to allow for trimming the pages. If not, use Tabloid (11x17), and ignore the black rectangle shown here (not part of the finished page, and not used in the revised procedure listed below).
I would start by making a duplicate of the file, then work with the copy, not the original. That way, if you make an error (or if I did) you'll have a quick route back to the original.
Here are the steps:
Open the copy of the document.
Go File > Page Setup.
Set Format for: to Any Printer
Set Paper Size: to Tabloid Oversize
Click OK
Open the Inspector. Go to the Document Inspector.
Set all four margins to 0.5 inch. Set Header (position) to 0.75 inch.
In the document, select on object, then press command-A to Select All (of the objects).
Go Arrange > Group to group all objects (except the header box with its text) into one object.
(This should create a separate grouped object on each page. You can scroll down to check.)
With all of the grouped objects selected, go to the Metrics Inspector.
Set Width to 17 in, Height to 11 in, and both position values to 0.5.
Go Arrange > Ungroup to ungroup the grouped objects and make them individually editable.
At this point the basic resizing of the document is completed. You will likely need to do some tweaking. Individual graphics may require re-shaping to remove the 'NFL Lineman' appearance of people in photos stretched this way. That should be fixable by reinserting the original graphics files into the media frames. This will remove the stretch, but more of the original image will ve visible. Text size will not have been changed by this resizing. That requires resetting the font sizes. Text will also flow differently in the larger text boxes.
Regards,
Barry
