Scale Word to print to custome size

I am making a application that will open a word document that is usually 8.5x11 and change the paper size to 12.80 x 10.24 print it to a jpeg so that is 1280 x1024 using active x controls. The problem is in that the printer is not scalling the document. How would I be able to tell word to scale to fit the page size of 12.80 x 10.24?
I have also added a custom paper size for the printer driver under the name Paperless. How would I be able to select that as a page size instead of custom page size?

I believe you would have to play with the "PrintZoomPaperWidth" and "PrintZoomPaperHeight" options in your Document invoke node. This Microsoft page seems to confirm that:

Printing a custom size?

How can I print a 3 1/2" x 4" photo? The picture is cropped to that size in iPhoto, but when I print it, it comes out much larger.

Sara:
You're going to have to use a 3rd party application for that. iPhoto is geared just for the standard printing sizes. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for image editor or print photo. You'll get a number of candidates. Some use Portrait and Prints for customs sizes. I use Photoshop Elements which is also capable of some advanced editing.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Printing on Custom size paper

I just purchased a HP Photosmart 7515 and I am trying to print on a paper 5 x 6.5 inches. I am doing this document in Word and I have the page set up in word correctly, but when I go to print the printer acts as if I have paper that is letter size (8.5 x 11in). When I go into the printer's properties and try to choose the paper size I get a drop down menu of several sizes, but not an option to do a custom size. Is it even possible to print on a custom sized paper or do I need to return the printer? If you know how to do it please let me know. Thank you.

Hi,
I afraid the printer does not support using a custom paper sizes.
An alternative driver as the C310 is likely to fail as a such is not supported by the firmware.
You may find the printer specification below, as you may see any custom media size paper is not listed as supported within the Paper-handling specifications, I afraid a such is not supported for your printer:

8600 Won't Print to Custom Size Envelopes

I used to have an HP Office Jet 7410 and was able to print all the addresses for my holiday cards on custom envelope sizes - nothing too out of the ordinary, but not #10. I have now upgraded (or at least I thought I was upgrading) to the 8600 Premium printer and spent hours trying to print to custom envelope sizes. Even after over an hour with tech support trying to help they finally told me the envelope size was not supported by this printer. She did try to trick it into using a different printer driver but that did not work either. I find it hard to believe that a high end all in one printer like this cannot do what the much older version did. Is there a workaround?

I have tried to install the deck jet 9800 as you suggested. I am using an ethernet to connect and run as I otherwise use it wireless. It is not sending to the printer. I have 125 wedding invitation envelopes to print and am ready to pull out my hair. Please help

Additionally, yes you will lose some functionality through those driver (such as scanning), however there is an easy solution to that problem. Just install both drivers on the computer and only use the alternate 990c (or Deskjet 9800) driver only when you want customized envelopes.
For the second question, I cannot speak for the company or their decisions in the future, I do know that the feature was removed to cut down on hardware problems and because of that our printers have become more reliable.
I hope you have a great day!

How do I print a custom size from Photoshop CS3?

I am using Photoshop CS3 with System 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I am printing on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 x 14 inches. When I print the page the design appears to have expanded beyond the paper size. I need to make a borderless print, so I can't just shrink the image. What do I need to do?

There should be a Custom Size setting for your Printer in the Photoshop Print dialog: Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes.

Borderless printing in custom sizes

I'm working on an HP 2575 with Windows 7
I need to print borderless at custom sizes - the main one being 125x250mm.
I understand that this isn't a pre-programmed option but somehow in the past I have managed to create a template in print properties that does exactly what I want! Now I have a new size that I need (144x288mm) and I have tried to configure the settings many different ways but it's always printing with a 3mm blank border.
I have rang Hp who can't help unless I pay for tech support and then they don't guarantee a solution so I thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar problem or workaround for me?
Many thanks.

This question is Not Answered....
"ummm".... Simply trying to help.
I used A4 as an example because that's what I was doing at the time, on my A4 printer - not my HPDesignjet 130nr, which is 600mm wide, on a roll!

My Photoshop CS5 keeping crashing when I select my Epson Printing option - Custom sizes management.

Hello PLEASE I need some help, it's driving mad!
My Photoshop CS5 - Keeps crashing every time I go into my custom size management option.
I use an Epson SX125 - my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
The printer and software worked fine a few months ago, now I am having issues all over again. Photoshop is up to date (all updates installed) and all my epson drivers are up to date as well.
Any ideas?

HI Ohhh Kaye,
This may not help you since I'm not using a macOS. I'm running windows 7 with PS 2014.2.2. However the problem seems similar. I found this workaround on photoshop.com where people using windows and OSx versions were reporting the issue for well over a year.
It appears one trigger for this problem is when reusing older photoshop files. These older Photoshop files have older print settings saved within them. If your printer driver is newer/changed since the file was made and/or your Photoshop version is newer than when it was created it appears to cause a crash when trying to enter printer driver settings to change them.
The workaround that worked for me: Open the old photoshop file. Jot down the dimensions. Create a new file w/same dimensions. Arrange your workspace to "2-up vertical" or something that allows you to see both files at once. Select all layers on the old file and drag to the new file. Close the old file. Align all your layers and content to the new file (keep all layers selected). Then save the new file. Now choose print, and then choose print settings.   It should not crash this time. And it will be fine the next time you open it. That is if this workaround will work for both operating systems and errors anyway. (might not)   Worth a try if you are really trying to print something directly from photoshop. Otherwise export a pdf and print that.
Hope it works for you OSX people too.

How to print a "custom" size panorama in CS6 on iMac with Epson R1900

I am stuck.After setting up in PS, the printer starts printing, but no ink is on the paper.
I have no trouble when I select a preset that is already part of the program, i.e.. 13 x 19 roll: it prints beautifully.
Epson help couldn't figure it out. Nor could NAPP or Adobe. Actually Adobe wanted me to pay $99.50 to help me solve the problem.

Hi djraven911,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I will be happy to help you; however I can't help but wonder, is this a prank?
I noticed you posted on April 1st, coincidentally April Fools.
In any case, HP does not have any printer's that support printing on toilet paper.
As for your second inquiry, I would suggest the Officejet 8600, the XL cartridge will print approximately 2300 pages.
It supports many media types, but not toilet paper.
Hope this helps.

How to print multiple custom size images on one sheet using PSE 10.

I am running Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows 7/64 bit.
I want to print six 2.5 inch by 1.75 inch images of one photo on a single 8.5 inch by 11.0 inch sheet.
How do I do that?

greenecar,
Use the crop tool to crop the image to 2.5x1.75", with resolution 240px/in. Enter these values on the tool's option bar, then drag out the crop shield, and comit.
Go to File>New>blank file, enter 8.5x11", background white (or anything else to suit), resolution 240 px/in. This will be your canvas
Go back to the cropped image, go to Select>all, then Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
Open the canvas from Step #2
Go to Edit>paste. Do this 5 more times. You should see 7 layers in the layers palette: The background layer (canvas), and 6 layers with the cropped picture
Use the move tool to position the 6 ;pictures, one layer at a time
You can go to View>Grid to open the grid to help with orientation. It will not print

Printing Issue - Custom Media Sizes, InDesign CC/Mac Mavericks

Hi all,
I've got a strange problem that I hope someone can provide some insight to. Perhaps this is a bug, but I'd rather ensure that there isn't something here that I haven't understood.
I have a project that I periodically modify and re-print on custom size media (3.25" x 7.36"). I've used the same Id document and workflows since, probably, Id 2 or 3, updating each time to the latest versions. The problem may be in the way Id CC interacts with the MacOS X printing system. The printer in question is a Xerox 8550.
The project is a one page table printed on this particular card stock. What's happening is that the printable area on the stock isn't being fully used - the top and bottom of the media aren't being printed - thus the top and bottom of the content is being cut off, in a way that wasn't an issue previously.
The printer control panel prompts for and accepts the media size correctly (I believe these printers have checks to ensure media fed matches the printable area; the Phaser engine doesn't like printing "off the paper").
Again, the same document has been used for many years, so I've tried the following steps to isolate and remediate the problem:
Document Setup: Custom Page Size, verify correct for media.
Print dialog: "Page Setup..." format for (custom media size defined for OS X), also verified to be correct for media.
Print dialog: "Setup", paper size Width and Height, correct; orientation correct, offset and gap 0p0, scale 100%.
Print dialog: PPD correct.
Recreated document, re-entering sizes and verifying setup. No change.
Created a test document, with same settings, and a scale extending outside of the printable area. The specs for (and my experience with) the printer are that the printable area is 5mm from the edge of the paper. The result of the test is that the content is cut off at 10-11mm from the edge instead.
Exported PDF from Id. Printed using Preview, same OS X page setup configuration. Printer prompts for correct media size. Content in test file prints as expected, to 5mm from media edge.
Printed test document from Acrobat XI, using "Actual Size", "Choose paper source by PDF page size", and "Use custom paper size when needed". Printer prompts for correct media size, content prints as expected, again, to 5mm from media edge.
So, in brief, exported PDF prints properly (and this is a workaround), but it's a pain that Id has this issue. All software involved is up to date. I haven't tried to dig into the PPD, as PostScript isn't one of my areas of strength, but I'm reasonably sure it's correct. I've also tried a similar test using Letter-size paper, and that also prints to 5mm.
I'd love to get some feedback on this. Many thanks.

For what its worth, I've been trouble shooting this issue with Adobe / Xerox / Apple for some time now. Here are my findings so far:
--------------------------------------------------Adobe's final response after a very long help ticket--------------------------------------------------------
This Email is in regards to the case related to the adobe application and Printing issue ,
As checked we were able to see that application is able to create the document with correct size , when checked within Adobe Pdf properties the size was showing as per document specification and when we tried to print the same , the document was showing the same values carried forwarder to the printer and in the preview it was showing the same specific setting of the document size in the printer previewer
It was during the printing process the same value are not being calculated correctly as per our interaction , you were able to use the same in the previous version of Mac 10.8. 5 , please check if there is any update available for the 10.9 version of mac and if it would work on the same ,we would request you to contact your printer help support for the same we are leaving the case open and would request you to call us back if there is any further issue on 800 833 66 87

Here the Decline from 3rd Level Engineering.
2nd Level Reference #: 19458297
Customer Name: VDB REAL ESTATE
Product Model: Phaser 7800
Problem Summary: Scale is incorrect when printing PDFs on custom size paper in OS X 10.9
Decline Reason: App/3rd party Issue
Note: I tested using the included process steps:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE-
I tested using a PDF that was 6" x 8.5".
In Acrobat or Adobe Reader, choose File > Print, go to Page Setup and create a custom page size of 8" x 9.5".
In the Acrobat dialog, set the size to "Actual size".
Print this to the device, note that the image is about 7" x 10".
Interestingly, in the Acrobat dialog, if "Choose paper source by PDF page size" is selected, the previewed page size is not that of the document, but instead shows 10.13" x 7.17". This size will change if different printers are selected.
Scaling is not an issue when printing to standard page sizes.
I was able to recreate the issue on a Mac running OS 10.9.1 using the Xerox 7800 print driver. I then tested on Mac OS 10.9.1 using a generic Postscript driver and also recreated the issue. This indicated that this is not a Xerox driver issue. I then tested on a Mac OS 10.8.5 using the same Xerox 7800 driver version and it worked as expected without scaling the image.
Mac OS 10.8.5 uses CUPS version 1.6.2 for printing where 10.9.1 uses CUPS version 1.7. I believe this is a CUPS issue and you will need to work with Apple to resolve it.
You may appeal this decision by replying to this email and providing appeal details.

While using 10.92 with Xerox Phaser 7800DN (2.94.1 PPD - Installed via Software Update), PDF at a custom page size was sent to spool folder via Preview was correctly sized, however the document produced by Adobe Reader appears to be icorrect. When using Preview the PDF printed to a custom page size at 100% scale comes out the proper size.

Problem printing custom size document

I am trying to print a custom size document (4.4"x7.2") that I created in Microsoft Word. I have set the Page size in Word, tried to create a custom size page in my Printer, and am unable to select this paper size in the properties of my printer (using the control panel). I am at a loss at how to eliminate the "Paper Mismatch" error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (I have two other size papers I need to generate documents for as well...4.4"x6.2" and 4.4"x8.2")
Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I doubt I will get any thanks for this; some days are just like that. Smiling.
While there are several instances where the Specification Sheet is actually in error and Windows does support Custom sizes for some printer models in a similar printer class, I do believe that in the case of THIS printer model, the specs are correct: Only Mac OS supports Custom paper sizes.
More simply said: You cannot get there from here.
You are likely stuck with the paper sizes supported by the printer as specified in that Spec sheet.
I could not find the necessary file Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X for YOUR printer model that one would expect to see in the How-to Support pages if the "Custom" paper sizes are supported for Windows.
I could be wrong -- I have been wrong before. I do not mind being wrong if it means you get what you need.
If you had something even close to what is allowed, you might be able to select something from the list, adjust the paper in the printer and try to get away with it by adjusting the Printing Preferences.

Printing custom size paper

I'm trying to print (via mailmerge from MS Word) name badge stock that is 4" wide and 14" long. When I try to print a file of 12 sheets, the printer takes about a minute between sheets. I've tried to find out why it won't print consecutively and the closest relevant info I've found is that there is some default in the printer causing it to go through some type of recycle. I've entered the custom paper size in the Word paper settings, but this does not solve the problem. I had an older HP laserprinter that worked find cranking out these quickly, but it died. Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi,
Unfortunately the driver that comes with the Officejet 8600 does not have the customer option. Try the workaround I listed below. This is how I was able to print on custom size media on my Officejet 8600. This is not a supported workaround but I do know that it works at least for my unit.

How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10. I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper. The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10. I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?

Need help ordering custom size prints in iphoto....

I don't know how to order custom size photos? After I edit photo in constrain tab and type the size i need it doesn't show that available size in kodak menu. Only standard sizes show up like 3x5, 4x6 etc... I need various sizes like 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 for example.

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.
iMac 1.9 GHz Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

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
