I need help printing custom size w/ In Design

I am new to InDesign.
I have both and Epson R300 and an Epson 1400.
I cannot create custom sizes to print with InDesign. I have a custom sized page (8.75W x 5.625H).
I want to set that size up in my print options but the custom print capability is grayed out on both my R300 and 1400. I'm guessing it's a driver issue?
In the past I've only ever printed on standard sizes but I thought for sure my 1400 would let me print irregular sizes.
Is this a printer issue or am I missing something with InDesign? Is there anything I can do to print this custom size with my printers?
Thanks.

I've discovered that if I use Format for > Any Printer in the Page Setup dialog, the Custom Page created isn't grayed out, and I can access it from the Paper Size selection.
But it doesn't seem to change the actual page area printed to, to the required .25 on top, even though I created a Custom Page of .25,.25,.25, .46 for my HP 960c printer, which claims an actual print area as defined by my custom size.
It seems to continue using a predefined .25L, .5T, .25R, .5B for the Letter Size paper selection.
One piece to the puzzle, responding a year or so late?

I cant print custom sizes in photoshop CS3. Please help

I am on my Imac G4 using mac os x 10.4.11. I know that it is not my printer that is the problem. I have been told that I should upgrade to 10.5.x, I have also purchased a new CS3 because I dont have the original copy so I cant reinstall it. The trouble that I am having is that when I try to print custom sizes, the printer defaults back to 8.5x11. Only in photoshop does it do this. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I can do to fix it? I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I will check back until this is resolved.

Russell,
Because your screen shots (they look like you actually shot them with a camera! ) don't show the whole Print Preview panel, I'm not sure at what stage you're losing the paper size, but it's pretty clear that by the time you invoke the printer driver, it's royally screwed up.
At this point I would:
• delete the printer from your printer list (in the Printer Setup Utility),
• re-install a fresh copy of the latest printer driver from the Epson site,
• then add the printer back in.
This is the kind of consistency you should be seeing (Command Click on each thumbnail to open the full-size image in a new web browser tab) [NOTE: this is CS4 running in Tiger 10.4.11):

Printing custom size prints

I am having trouble printing custom size photos on regular size paper. I use the custom scale setting in the layout dialog box. However, the result does not match the requested size in the preview window and it does not print the requested size. For example I would like to scale a photo to print 4x10 on a 8/12X11 sheet of paper. When I custom scale to 4x10 the result is 4 high but 7.5 wide. Any help would be appreciated? I'm printing on an HP 9180.

Have you cropped the photo to your desired 4x10 aspect ratio? If you do that, then the only printing part of the photo is that portion you've chosen in your crop. Then in the print dialog, you can tell it to print to 8.5x11 and set the margins there to .5 inch in order for it to scale to 10". Or have you done all this already?

Printing custom size envelopes under Yosemite

Upgraded to Yosemite on MacPro. HP8600 no longer prints custom size envelopes. Seems like printer keeps expecting 11 inch long paper size even though the envelope is specified as 5.750 height. Never had a problem before OS upgrade. Need to print envelopes for Christmas cards.

Hey @25172 ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
I understand you are having issues when trying to print an envelope but the printer is trying to print on an 11' piece of paper. You used to be able to change the settings and it would work, now it simply isn't following your instruction.
Have you done all the apple updates?
Did you uninstall and reinstall the software for the printer since the update in OS?
Are you experiencing any other issues when it comes to setting related tools with the printer software on 10.10?
Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a great day.

HI Plexi,
As far as I know, there are only the standard sizes available for prints.
You will have to print the custom sizes with your printer.
thanks - I'll give your suggestion a try and let you know how it turns out.

Printing custom sizes on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus from Macbook Pro

I am having trouble setting up a Word Document (Word for Mac 2011) to print in a custom size on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I'm using a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
I would like to print on a card stock that is 4.5 in x 13.5 in. I have tried under Page Setup to create a custom size under Manage Custom sizes, however, I'm hitting a brick wall. The printer gets the job but can not feed the paper. I've also tried to set my default paper size under my System Preferences/Printers and Scanners to be this size...still not working.
Please help!

Hi @klinecard
It is important to ensure the paper size you are selecting is a supported size, and make sure the weight is supported too.
Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Series Printer Series
Please look under paper handling.
If your desired size and weight is supported, you might find the following helpful; Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
Truthfully, since you are not getting an error message, I suspect you have correctly setup the custom size, this issue is most likely the printers inability to feed the paper you are using.

ID CS5.5 Mac - Trouble printing custom size 13x21 transparency

I am trying to print a positive transparency for a screen print. The document is 13x21. I have a 13 wide transparency roll from which I have cut a 21" piece. I'm printing to an EPSON 1400.
I cannot get the file to output to this szie. It cuts off the image within in 8.5x11 boundary every time.
I have:
- set a custom size in the print dialog
- clicked Page Setup in the print dialog and set the custom size there as well, ignoring the warning about it not being the ID print dialog
- the preview in the dialog will look perfectly oriented to the correct size in the little thumbnail
- I have tried everything I can think of to try and get the output sizes in sync and correct
- I switched to PDF to try that, fail again
Is there anyone that can help with some step by step of a process that will work?
Adobe ID CS5.5, EPSON Stylus Photo 1400, Mac Lion 10.7.5
I just can't comprehend how this could be so difficult and unintuitive. Any insight would be freaking wonderul.

Wow! Sudden serendipitous conclusion to this insanely frustrating issue.
I had found information that the EPSON 1400 should be able to print 44" long output by default. I was searching specifically to find folks that had printed large or panoramic imagery and stumbled onto a UK photography site where a person has mentioned he'd written software that would allow this printer to even print beyond 44". That sounded great.
BUT, the last post on the thread a guy mentioned how he was able to print up to 44" to an EPSON 1400 with ease. The solution, he said, was that the WIDTH of the print area in the page setup must be LESS THAN 13". Why? No explanation.
So I reset my custom size to 12.5x21 inches and BAM! First attempt from InDesign printed successfully. I can work with the margin.
Anyway, in case anyone else runs into this issue this works. Here is a link to the 2009 post that mentions this as well as info regarding printing longer than 44".
This one is solved.

Can't print custom size on Mac os 10.3.9.

Recently set up my new Epson 1400 printer but find it doesn't want to print any custom sizes.
Thought it was a printer error but was told that it may be something to do with the mac/program i am using. I'm working on Adobe Illustrator CS2... when i go to print then page set up I can set up the custom size needed ( 30cm-80cm ) on the untitled option, thinking all is going well i look on the print preview it looks exactly how i want it set up ready to go but it will only print Super A3 size even though i have told it not to. A little look closer on the main print page i can see that although the measurements are stored in there, they are not highlighted and neither is the custom button, i'm sure this is the reason why i can't get it to print the longer length needed, can anyone help me, its driving me mad???? thanks.

I'm using Tiger, but it may be the same in Panther.
Open the Page Setup window. In the *Format for* block there may be two choices available by clicking the arrows : Any Printer or your Epson. Select your Epson & you may have more choices for sizes.
 Cheers, Tom

Help creating custom size pdf

I am trying to print a pdf of a 96x36 banner using the pdf printer in a Publisher 2010 file. I have searched online and found many sites with instructions which I have followed. I have also posted on Microsoft's help but am still unable to print the pdf. I have added a custom size form to the pdf printer, but when I click print nothing happens. The pdf printer works on other publisher files in standard paper sizes, but not custom sizes. There is nothing in the file creating a problem - I opened a new file with nothing in it and still can't get it to print. If anyone can help - PLEASE DO! I have struggled with this for 3 days and can't find an answer anywhere as to why I can not print a custom size document.

Lori - I was wondering if you could help me with another Adobe question I have been struggling with - affecting all my CS5 programs, including - but not specific to - Acrobat?
In all the CS5 programs (including Acrobat) it takes a very long time for the open dialog box and save dialog box to appear after clicking save or open under file. Everything else in the programs works fine - it doesn't take long for operations to be performed or anything else, and once the dialog box is open it doesn't take a long time to open or save the files. I have narrowed down the problem to being connected to a home network. I have a network storage device and another computer that I access and use files between. As a test I unplugged the network cable and the dialog boxes appeared immediately. Once the computer was reconnected to the home network, the same slow dialog boxes returned. I have found others online with the same problem, but no answers as of yet. I have checked whatever settings on my computer that I found in postings for possible solutions, but nothing has helped. Are you aware of this problem, and do you know of any solution for it? It is extremely frustrating to wait so long for the dialog box to appear - it adds a lot of time to my workflow, and its almost embarrassing that my CS1 programs' open & save dialog boxes appear with lightening speed but my CS5 is slower than molasses!! Any help would be appreciated!
CS5 is installed on a 64 bit Windows 7 computer

Printing custom size

When I try to print a custom size paper in PSE11, I do not get a window to enter the custom size.

I found this is working fine with me. I will suggest you to reset the the setting/preferences of PSE and then retry the same.
For resetting the preferences you can visit <http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f 626a494c12e28b3ab58-7fe2.html> url.

Officejet 4500 won't print Custom Size

Printer Preferences accepts 5.5x8.5 (half an 8.5x11 sheet) custom size In WinXP Control Panel/Printer. I also put this into MS Word 2003. But when I go to print the final Print Preview shows 8.5x11 size. Going back to MS Word/Print/Preferences to re-input paper I choose CUSTOM , Plain Paper, 5.5x8.5 inches, landscape but the box does not do anything. That is - after putting in the values the NEXT button does not activate. Only Cancel works. Help says that the HP Printer Preferences entered in Control Panel should work fine - and that MS Word page setup should over ride the HP settings. Doesn't. The only thing I can do is select 5x8 Index Card as paper type in HP - which is close but not exact. OR , I have to create my work using half of an 8.5x11 sheet but letting HP think I am using the whole sheet. There is nothing on the bottom half so it works. But this is a royal pain.
This works just fine using my Brother's Laser printer and my Canon Inkjet printer - on both MS Word 2003 and Lotus Word Pro. Any ideas would be appreciated. I tried getting the latest driver but install says I already have the latest.

OK, great, thanks for that.
How are you starting the print job? Are you using the print icon on the Yahoo page or File > Print or the print icon in IE8? Do you get different results from these three paths? Do you get any error messages?
