| | Custom Page Size I am using an Epson LX-300+II dot matrix printer in Windows Vista. I am trying to print checks that are tractor feed 8.5" x 7". I added the cusotm paper size in the print server and it is saved correctly, however, when I try to print, the print properties dialog does not show the paper size. In fact, there are many paper sizes in the print manager that do not show up in the list of available paper sizes. According to Epson 2nd level Tech Support, the problem is with the Vista driver that automatically installs when you plug in the printer. Epson has not yet released a driver for this printer. -- There are 10 kinds of people Those who understand binary and those who don't |
