Print with paper size custom?

Hi, how to print width paper size defined by me?, actually printjob class have the selectpapersize method with differents sizes(a4, a3, a5, letter, etc), but i need have a paper size custom, example 500x450

Unfortunately, there isn't a customer print size api at this time. However, there are two things I'd recommend. First, I'd like to encourage you to cast your vote for the the existing feature requests on our ideas.adobe.com site (here and here).
You might also want to take a look at this post, which describes how you might be able to work around this with a bit of trial and error.
Thanks,
Chris

Can't duplex print B4 paper size with Snow Leopard and HP8100N

Apple print drivers dumped the standard European paper size B4 (see ISO 216 for specs) many OS's ago, however, I was able to duplex print B4, which is a standard size for the HP8100 trays, using the HP Duplexing accessory, by specifying a 'custom' paper size (10.14 x 14.33). Now, with Snow Leopard and the 10.6.4 and the updated HP8100 print driver from Apple, I get the message "The Duplex Option, Flip on Short Edge" is not available when the destination paper is set to Custom."
It seems the easiest solution would be for Apple to bring back the B4 paper size--I don't know why they eliminated it. The next solution would be for Apple or HP (whoever is responisble for the print driver) to back up to whatever allowed duplexing of custom sizes in all recent OS's up to Snow Leopard.
I have thousands of pages of music to print and manual duplexing just isn't an option. Anybody have any work-around ideas?

Printing on paper sizes larger then A3.

Hi all,
I tried searching the foram for this specific problem but did not get success. I am working on sending custom 2D graphic elements to the printer/plotter using both the 'PrinterJob.getPrinterJob()' and the 'ServiceUI.printDialog()' methods. It works fine for printing/plotting if the page size is up to A3 but fails once we try printing to a bigger paper size. I also have tried using the java ServiceUI.printDialog but it provides a limited list of paper sizes rather then the standard set of paper sizes provided by different vendors. I have tested following code with the adobe pdf print driver and HPDeskJet 1050C plotter but each time it appears that my A2 size is cropped and shown as just part of my graphic element covered by A3 paper size. Kindly have a look at the code below and let me know if I am doing some thing wrong. I would be really thankful to you for your time and help in this regard.

Page Setup / Paper Size- custom not an option

Following previous advice to get Adobe Acrobat installed to enable more print options, which I did, I am not seeing the custom paper size available as an option under page setup.
I am trying to follow along with Matt Kloskowski's video tutorial for print presets where he goes in and makes a contact sheet effectively become a triptych print setup. He goes to change the paper size from the standard to 11" x 4", and clicks Page Setup/Paper Size/Manage Custom sizes and enters the new dimensions.
When I go to Page Setup, and choose Adobe PDF under printer name, "manage Custom Sizes is not an option for me under Paper size- they are all standard sizes.
Any thoughts on why this might be?

Set your paper size as a custom size:
1. Open the Pages doc
2. Press shift+ ⌘ +p to open the page setup
3. In the 'settings' pull down menu choose 'custom paper size'
4. Click on the new button and create your custom size and save by pressing o.k
5. Now your custom size will appear in every page set up dialogue.
For my two printers this is all I have to do. The printers adopt the page set up selected in Pages.

How do I set the print and paper size in iPhoto 5

Can somebody please help. How do you set up iPhoto 5 so that you define both the the size of the print and the photo paper you use?
For example, I wish to print a 4.5cm x 3.5 cm photo on 6x4 (or 15cm x 10cm to keep all the units the same) paper.
I've seen a post saying how to do it in iPhoto 8, but the drop-downs are different.

I do not remember the locations in iPhoto 5 but there are probably three places to mess with
1 - set the paper size
2 - set the print size
3 - set the paper tray for the printer to use that has the paper size that you set in step 1
these may be in the print sequence or under the file menu as page set up (or similar). If these are not obvious try the Help menu

Confusion with paper sizes in Elements 8

I have been using Photoshop Elements for years with my MAC , ever since it first came out and have never had this encounter with the paper size menu. When printing a photo I #1 designate which printer I am using ( Canon Pro9000) and then #2 try to select a paper size but the drop down menu has a list of sizes I can't decifer. US letter is there as well as legal but what is DMSIZE_MINUS_ 8x10, DMSIZE_6GIRI, DMSIZE_L, JB5, etc. Has anyone else come up with this problem? I need a translation. My daughter has the same problem with her copy of Elements. Is this a bug in the program?
Thanks,
Lorinda

When you launch print dialog of elements, the values in dropdowns are populated based on the printer selected/installed on your machine. However, in some cases it may be possible that the pritinter driver does not return the correct names of paper choices and can show junk values.
This however has not been found in latest MAC OS but may be seen in Tiger or old versions of MAC with some of the old printer of some of the manufacturers.
However, when you choose these paper sizes, the sizes are also shown in preview section.
Let me know if you have any comments.

Default Printer with Particular Size

Hi Experts,
Am facing one issue, I have attached various documents with various sizes in the DMS(Document Management System), but while taking the print by multiple selection I want the output to be in the particular size for all the documents which are attached in the DMS.
How can this be achieved.
Regards,
Thirupathi

It already is the default printer in 'Printer Setup Utility' .... however in Photoshop via 'Page Set Up' it is not .
Anyone else out there have any ideas?

HP K 8600 printer 12x18" paper size

How can I print on 12"x18" paper on my K 8600 printer?

You may have better luck asking for a printer that can scan 12x18 on the Enterprise Business Support Forums. This forum is more for small to medium businesses and a printer with those capabilities are handled by a different department. I tried to research the answer for you and found a link here but without some more information, I will have a hard time finding the best answer to this question. I hope this helps!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Adobe PDF printer (adding paper sizes)

I just reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on a new computer and it only shows stadard paper sizes like 8-1/2 X 11, 11 X 17, etc.. My old computer would have all of the Architectural paper sizes as well (ANSI sizes, Arch sizes, and ISO sizes). How do I get these paper sizes onto the new machine?
Thanks in advance.

Printing "save as pdf postscript" yields problem with paper size

when I "save as pdf postscript" my 8.5 by 8.5 pages doc, it shrinks and ends up right justified in the PDFX1A 2001 version...this only happens with this particular file--all I can think is that I used a lot of text wrapping around graphs and that messed it up, please help!

nevermind! I figured out the problem--I needed to click on "view" and check "hide comments", which were being included in the PDF, making it smalled on the left side of the page
thanks anyway AppleFolks

Eprint fails to print large paper size pdf

Hello
I often need to plot long PDF drawings on my designjet 111 paper roll version. With the pdf reader or professional acrobat printing turns out mission impossible, when there are heavy raster data behind, so i wanted to use the eprint and share solution. Up to a lenght of about 1300 mm it works really well, however when trying with longer drawings the software refuses to print. Is there any method to print longer pdf's with eprint? Is this parameter plotter specific?
I tried as well to print my drawings with the designjet GoWeb virtual printer, that directly creates plt files. But with this solution i don't manage to control the scaling and some frame margins are cut.
I know many people dealing daily with similar problems when plotting pdf drawings on their plotters. Pdf is still a interchange and archive standard in civil engineering projects and a complete solution within eprint&share would probably be very appreciated.
Many thanks for your answers.
Bernie

Hello Bob
i was led on this forum, because it concerns eprinting. i agree it would better fit the designjet forum.
I got an answer from HP concerning my problem and publish it here for info to other users.
kind regards
bernhard
answer from hp eprint+share team:
Sometimes a big PDF or DWG file appears as a non printable with the tip: "Not supported file size. Try to fit a smaller size".
The reason of that is the amount of pixels used to calculate the image is too large. The Adobe PostScript library used by ePrint&Share has a limitation for PDF and DWG conversions. Most of the HP printers work internally at 300dpi when the Draft quality is selected and in 600dpi when Normal or Best qualities are applied. Whit an internal resolution of 600dpi maximum plot length will be 1,3 m., and with an internal resolution of 300dpi maximum plot length will increase to 2,7m.
However, there is an exception with a set of printers that are using also 600dpi with Draft quality. In those cases the maximum length is always 1,3m. The printer list with this handicap is:
- HP Designjet T1100
- HP Designjet T1120
- HP Designjet T1200
- HP Designjet T1300
- HP Designjet T2300
- HP Designjet T610
- HP Designjet T620
- HP Designjet T7100
- HP Designjet T770
- HP Designjet T790
Keep in mind this is a question of the internal printer resolution. It does not mind the resolution of the image.
In the meantime, we recommend you to follow one of the next workaround:
Solution 1:
Step 1: Select Draft in the ePrint&Share quality menu for those printer that are not in the previous list.
In that case, DesignJet 111 printer can print in 300 dpi when "draft" option is selected.
Solution 2:
Step 1: Open the PDF you need to convert with a Adobe Acrobat (or any other program that can "save as..." the images with different formats)
Step 2: Convert the PDF file to a TIFF or JPEG format file.
Step 3: Add the file to ePrint&Share (in this way the file will appears as a printable file) and print it.
The conversion of a PDF vector file to a raster bitmap file format, is a step that the printer does internally to its predefined resolution when you send a vector file (PDF) to it. When you generates a TIFF you are doing, in advance, the printer job. Of course with two disadvantages:
- The bitmap files are bigger.
- When we resize a bitmap we are losing quality.
However, if you are generating a TIFF file format you could decide with which specific resolution and size you want to print your job, and in most cases, 150ppp is a good enough resolution.
If you have any doubt please not hesitate to contact us.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

B9180 Win 8 Print Prefs - no "Custom" paper size option

After moving to Windows 8, and loading the current driver, When I go to Print Preferences > Paper size options the dropdown box does not show "Custom". Current paper suzesare listed, with "More" below the line. Under XP, "Custom" was below the line and "More" was above the line. So the way it sits, there is now way to add a custom paper size.

Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter. The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984. MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer. Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4. However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure). Its Paper Size was also set to A4. Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows. (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.) After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document. This time the result was fine.
While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated. Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition? And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising. Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split. I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage. It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

Thank you, Rebecca.
The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser. I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer". But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur. I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install. If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

Excel 2010 paper size issue with PCL6 drivers after KB2592687 installed on client

When I connect to the RDS server and open Excel with the PCL6 printer and select File / Print the paper size says Custom Paper Size and I can not change the paper size here, in the Page Layout tab or in the drivers properties pages. Using the PS driver there
is no issue. I've tried using several stock PCL6 drivers from Windows 7 and have the same issue such as the HP LaserJet P4014/4015 PCL6. Using the Lanier LP131n PCL6 or PS I had the issue with PS as well.
I do not have the drivers loaded on the server so it is using Remote Desktop Easy Print. If I do load the drivers and allow it to use them then there is no issue but I cannot configure the printers options without taking ownership of the printer so that
is not desirable.
If I do not install KB2592687 then there is no issue, but that is not an option as I am dealing with a customer who's IT manager refuses to remove this, even to test it, and says our printer driver has the issue and is not compliant with MS TS.
Could I be missing any configuration, hotfix, policy that could explain this issue or any other workaround? Or is there a change required to our printer driver for this?
Test setup:
I created a new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server with SP1, Added the RDS Role, Installed Office 2010 Professional with SP1 using the Terminal Services product key. No updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well for
both Server and Office.
I then created a new Windows 7 Professional x86 with SP1 client, installed PCL6 & PS printers, installed KB2574819 and KB2592687. No other updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well.

Hi,
Did you find any particular Event ID for your issue?
To troubleshoot this issue, have you tried changing the default printer and printing from other programs such as Word or any other?
The issue which you are facing might occurs because the Microsoft XPS Document Converter (MXDC) determines the paper size by using the FormID value on the server. As you commented that you are using Easy print driver first you can find incorrect paper size
if RD Easy Print printer driver first is enabled.
To work around this issue, use the forms that are defined by the system when you print. The paper sizes for these forms match on the server and on the client computer. Additionally, a printer driver can rename these forms. Please refer below article for more
information.
The client printer may print the documents by using an incorrect paper size if the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first" policy is enabled
Apart from this providing link to understand RD Easy print in Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
