Vista - Legal paper size

In Vista "Windows Fax and Scan" I am unable to find a way of scanning legal
sized documents (8.5"x14"). When initiating a scan there are a large number
of paper sizes available, but nothing that is even close to the legal size.
Does Anyone have an idea of how to update the paper sizes available or a way
to work around the issue?

Additional notes: It does not seem to matter which scanner is attached, but
in case you are wondering, it is a HP Laserjet 3050 all-in-one. Vista is
recognizing and installing the scanner correctly. If I initiate a scan from
the scanner, it will scan the full legal sheet; however, the image is cut off
at 11". If I initiate a scan in "Windows Fax and Scan", not only does it not
have a paper size to match, but the scanner quits scanning at 11" and the
paper has to be manually removed from the scanner.

That's a function of the drivers for your scanner. Check the HP website to
be sure you have the latest drivers for your scanner and whether or not the
drivers are full featured or only support basic functionality.
