How to create user defined paper sizes - HP and Photoshop CS5

For Red River Paper greeting cards, scrapbook 12x12 sheets, panorama printing, and other special projects, you need to define a custom paper size in the HP printer properties. Below are instructions for setting a custom paper size starting in Photoshop.

To Begin:

In Photoshop click PRINT. Choose your printer from the Printer drop down menu.

Now click the Print Settings button. This will launch your printer's property dialog.

In the printer properties, click on the Features tab.

Under the Paper Size Options, choose Custom

Set the width and height of your custom paper size. Name the size and click OK. It will be available in the Paper Size listing above for future print jobs.

* Important Tip - the smaller paper dimension is ALWAYS the width. The larger dimension is always the height.
