 |

Hi
I have a Canon ip4200
Is it posible to save a custom size page so that it is available in
the page size drop down box
I know how to make a custom size page, but how do I save it when I
need several custom sizes without having to keep changing margins
Thank you

installations of the same physical printer. In the case of the ip4200 I don't
know which method will work but one of them should.
Method 1
Rename your printer to something (like Standard)
Insert the Printer CD and just follow the instructions, at some stage it may
ask if you are installing a new printer, if so then say yes and give that
printer a unique name (like custom1). If it does not ask for a new name it
should install it with the name that your first installation had. When
installed you should now have two versions of the printer available and set
each one to whatever custom size you need. You should be able to repeat this
process.
Method 2
If method 1 does not work, use add new printer (after renaming the original
printer) and do the same as method 1.
Godd luck, please let us know how you get on.

How to set up a custom paper size for labels in Windows XP
by Ron Lawrence
I placed a request out on one of the Foxpro developer forums, and got
the answer to the custom paper size problem. Apparently, in XP, paper
sizes are defined in what are called "forms", which are independent
from the printer drivers.
You can define a new form by selecting the "Printers & Faxes" option
on the "Start" menu. From there, click on the "File" menu at the very
top. Select the "Server Properties" option. On the Properties dialog,
you'll see the "Forms" tab. Check the "Creat New Form" box and you
will be able to update the form name and size fields. Click on "Save
Form" to save your new form. In my testing, I created a new form for a
3 inch high by 4 inch wide label, and named the form, "1Up Shipping
Labels". <snip rest of article>

So far as I know you can't save several custom sizes in the driver but you
should be able to save one, is that so? What you can do is to have several
