Custom paper size - seems scaled for A4

Hi,
I'm trying to print on the front of a card which when unfolded is 15cm x 30cm.
I've made a PDF in Inkscape (page size matches paper dimensions) and opened it in Preview.
I set a custom paper size of 15 x 30cm for my printer (Samsung ML-2010) in the page setup dialogue. The scaling set to 100%. When I print preview everything looks fine.
However, when I print it seems to be scaled for a much larger page and the text is much larger than original and runs off the page. If I print it onto an A4 sheet everything fits but the text is still larger than intended.
Any ideas on what's going wrong?

Unfortunately I don't seem to have that Scale to Fit option... just the usual Scale bit below the orientation (in Page setup) which I currently have at 100%.

  • 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. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
    Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

  • 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
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Alternate driver for 7520 that allows 'custom' paper size

    I use photomerging to create panoramas that I want to print at 4 x 13 (or longer).  This was possible on my old Photosmart 6980 by using the 'Custom' paper size to add custom paper types to the choice list.  Unfortunately, my new 7525 (Costco's 7520) does not have the 'Custom' size option. I see in the Forum many complaints about this, and suggestions to install older drivers that did allow custom sizing.  What alternate driver should I use (older, or maybe newer), that will still make full use of the Photosmart 7520 photo-quality printing - the full "564" cartridge set with the photo-black ink along with the tri-colors ?
    This question was solved.

    Hi PrahaMama,
    Sorry for the delay in reply.
    The Photosmart C310a does have a driver download available, for you in Step 1 use this for a download: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    The steps should be the same for the rest of the setup even though you have Windows 8.

  • 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!

  • Setting new measurement units for custom paper size

    How do you convert from mm to inches when you're setting a custom paper size?

    The OS X calculator app has its uses too. Key in the value you want to convert from, and press enter, then choose Calculator > Convert > Length.

  • Photosmart Duplex with Custom Paper Size

    I've recently bought a Photosmart Premium C310a for a personal project where I needed a photo printer that could handle duplex printing and custom sized paper, which according to the spec this printer does. 
    However, when you try to do this the printer driver in Windows Vista tells me that custom sizing is not compatible with duplex printing, rendering the Photosmart Premium a large lump of plastic and wiring that I have no use for.
    Has anyone got any ideas of how I can make this work?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    OK, the paper weight is outside that "supported" for duplexing as shown in the user manual but it might work.
    I do not have a c310a set up to test with but I tried with a c309a I have here.  What exactly did you try?  I set a custom paper size in the Printing Preferences, Features tab and then selected automatic two sided printing and it seems to work.  Are you trying to print full borderless photo's in duplex mode?  That is not supported and I do not know any way to make it work.  It is also not supported (and will not work) to print with photo media selected and printing in duplex mode.

  • 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

  • Scale to fit paper size (no custom paper size?)

    I used to have a custom paper size called "No. 6-3/4 envelopes" defined under Page Setup. For example, in Pages I would adjust the document's page size to the size of my envelope (6.5 x 3.63 inches). However, to get it to print correctly, after selecting File > Print... I would need to select "Paper Handling" (dropdown) and check "Scale to fit paper size". Then select from "Destination Paper Size" (dropdown) my custom page size that I defined in Page Setup. It would appear as a custom size near the bottom of the list after all the standard sizes such as US Letter. By not doing this before printing a custom size envelope, my HP printer throws an error that it does not support the page size.
    However, after upgrading to Lion, I'm not seeing my custom paper size underneath the "Destination Paper Size" list. It doesn't show any custom sizes I've defined from Page Setup as it did in 10.6 Snow Leopard. Is this a bug?

    Nevermind, I seemed to have solved my own issue which drove me crazy for the last 30 minutes. By swapping the Width and Height for the custom size in Page Setup, it now seems to notice the custom size under "Destination Paper Size" again.

  • 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!!!!!!!!

  • Problems with Custom Paper Size and Address Book

    I'm having some trouble printing from Address Book onto a custom paper size. I'm attempting to set up a notecard, and only print one at a time, rather than multiple columns as in the Labels option. The trouble is that when creating this small size, Address Book doesn't recognize it as anything other than a regular sheet of US Letter, and thus prints the address in the middle of the page.
    I have no problem printing envelopes, though, which seems odd because they too go in the manual feed for my printer. The notecards are similar width to the envelopes, but only about half the length.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with custom paper sizes printing improperly? I'm using an HP 4515 LaserJet, but have access to a few other laser printers. Thanks for any insight

    I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix.  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade.  I print in Photoshop fine.
    If you found an answer, I would appreciate  knowing how to do it!
    Thanks

  • HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter & custom paper sizes

    Have found all the helpful instructions about creating new custom paper sizes in Windows 7. But am complete novice & need to buy a printer for a charity. Settled on this model because of good reviews but most work will be 1 document of custom paper size. Need to know if the instructions given are fail-proof!! (Before i spend their money.)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello invqn,
       after having performed some detailed research, as well as installing the Pro 8100 (and other products) on a Windows 7 system, we determined the Pro 8100 doesn't support Custom Sizes:  that was by design and intent.
       Note that one of our engineer's proposed using a different set of drivers (from an older device) as a potential work-around, but this is unproven and may serve to limit your overall functionality of the device.
       However, we did confirm that a newer device that is currently out, the HP Officejet Pro 8610 (or 8620 or 8630) e-All-in-One, DOES support custom sizes; these are multi-function printers.
        Using the instructions in the link you sent, you can create new Forms with custom sizes and it will show up in the Printer Properties for you to use/select. It supports custom sizes from 3.00 x 5.00 in. to 8.50 x 14.00 in. 
       Our intent is only to provide information on what we know; you might take a moment and perhaps see if an HP Marketing representative might be able to give you more information, but that's what we have.
       We hope this helps....

  • Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

    Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it.  I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes.  With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray.  While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
    One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray.  It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope.  Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing.  I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray.  I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
    My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310.  I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray.  To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7.  The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray.  Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
    The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets."  The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
    If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful!  I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

    Hi,
    Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
    From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
    From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
    You need to select right custom size from the application.

  • 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?
