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.
Regards.

  • Managing Custom Paper Sizes with the Epson 2000P

    Hi,
    I recently started using the iMac and after installing the software for the Epson 2000P found that I could not print a 13 x 44 image. I set up a custom paper size and when the page printed it only printed 18" of the image. I tried the Epson 1280 with the same set up and was able to get 22". I thought maybe the file was to large a cut it in half with no luck. I increased the memory allotment of the program as well and still no luck. I have emailed and called Epson support and can't get any answers from them so I thought I would check here at Apple. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciuate it.

    Hi,
    Crystal Reports 2008 supports custom page sizes.  You can set this in the Page Properties for the report in the Crystal Reports Designer, I'm not sure if you can set it in the SDK as well.

  • How do i select a custom paper size on the 6500A , specifics 18cmX26cm

    I want to print on a specific paper size, 18cmX26cm.  The suggestions from microsoft don't accuratly display my features or windows or the tabs that they say to click.  Also your forums seem to mislead the same information.  For the money I paid for this printer is not what I expected and very disappointed.  The lack of info is appalling, and confusing and just down right frustrating, leading me to conclude that your all as crazy as I am for trying to do something over and over, and expecting different results.

  • How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer.

    How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer. I am using Windows XP home edition. The Custom option itself is not appearing in the process of selecting paper sizes in Printing preferences. I have installed this printer just today, but I bought it eight months back in Dubai. Could there be chance that since I purchased it in Dubai and I am using it in India, the software's not functioning properly. 
    Can you please help me with this problem immediately? Reply soon...

  • How may I print out a picture from paper and not the photo tray?

    How may I print out a picture from paper and not the photo tray?

    From paper?  Do you have a digital image of it on your iPhone?
    "Photo tray"?  What do you mean here?  The iPhone does not have a photo tray.  Printers have trays.

  • In elements 12 how to print borderless on custom paper size

    how do I get rid of margins on custom paper printing so the print is borderless?

    Paul,
    I have an older version of PSE, but I doubt that they have changed the print dialog.
    In Editor, go to File>Print, and on the bottom of the screen there is "More Options". Click on that to get to the "Custom Print Size" tab.. Check "Scale to Fit Media." Does that work?
    Have a look at the "Printing Choices" tab as well. Is everything unchecked under "Border?"

  • HP Envy 5530 - how do you add a custom paper size

    I'd like to add two custom paper sizes; Halfsheet (8.5" x 5.5") Portrait and Halfsheet (5.5" x 8.5") Landscape.  I create lots of invitations and thank you cards, and have been unsuccessful in figuring out how to add these special or "custom" sizes to my printer.  I end up taking my paper to a friends home to print them so I need to figure out how to remedy the problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have Windows 8 if that helps.

    Hi there,
    Great question.  This document on the hp support site should get you started.  Once the page opens, click on the + sign next to Windows 8 and follow the instructions.
    Happy printing!
    Thanks!

  • HP Photosmart 3210 installed on my iMac But is showing as  but is showing as HP Color Laserjet 2800 series PS which means I no longer have access to all the paper options especially the photo tray

    I have recently purchased an iMac running Lion. The HP Photosmart 3210 printer was connected through the network and I was happy that it recognised the printer - good old Mac's!!
    However, when I tried to print some of my photos from the photo tray, the option was not available and when I looked at the printer properties, it was showing as a HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS which does not have all the paper options I had before. Reinstalling the software from HP did not make any difference - do I now have to buy a new printer as well???

    I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

  • How do i add a custom paper size to an hp deskjet 3000 j310 series?

    I'm using the printer with Windows 7. Trying to print on 5.5" by 8.5" paper, which is not displayed under paper size in properties (Paper/Quality tab). I don't see a way of adding custom sizes.I thought maybe the custom check box under the same Paper/Quality tab might have something to do with it, but it's grayed out, and, in any case, it looks like it relates to changing the print quality, not the size.

    Hi there,
    According to the product specifications located here the paper size is not supported.
    Best of Luck!

  • 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.

  • How to get my custom controller updated with the global custom controller?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to CRM Web UI and need some advice from the expert. Currently I'm working on component ICCMP_BT_DATES and noticed something weird with this component. When this component is first launch it display the dates of a service ticket correctly. However when I navigate to another screen, save a new ticket and back, the dates are not reflected. When I went in and debug the component, I noticed that the context is still tied to the previous ticket. I think the custom controller is not updated with the latest from the global custom controller.
    My question is how do I get my custom controller updated with the latest.
    Regards,
    Ricky

    You have to bind your custom controllers context node to the event NEW_FOCUS of the collection wrapper on the global custom controller.
    Best place to do this might be the CONNECT_NODES of the context of your custom controller.
    Get the global CuCo with GET_CUSTOM_CONTROLLER() and then the appropriate context node. Now:
    SET HANDLER yourMethod for lr_global_cuco->typed_context->thecontextnode->collection_wrapper activation iv_activate.
    Of course you have to implement a method similar to ON_NEW_FOCUS as it is on many other nodes.
    cheers Carsten

  • 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

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • CR 2008 SDK: how to set custom paper size?

    Dear forum users, I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 2008 SDK to print barcode labels to a Datamax Printer.
    The printer uses a custom page size. Can anyone tell me how to set custom page size and margins using C# and CR2008 SDK?
    Best regards
    Alessandro

    I'm experiencing this problem: I need to print barcode labels which are 4 x 9 cm each (a custom paper size). The report has been build correctly, orientation is right but when I print the labels programmatically by an application I made the label gets printed in a wrong way.
    In particular, orientation and paper size are not correct.
    So I would like to try to force both of them (both the orientation and the custom paper size). How can I do that?
    Best regards
    Alessandro
