Printing Custom Size Cards
I am trying to print custom size cards from Word 2003 to my printer (various
sizes, minimum is 3.5" x 5" and my printer (HP 5000 laser) will accept down to 3" x 5"). I set up the custom size in the word document, then again on the printer's advanced features from the print dialog box. Then I go to print and the printer keeps aligning the document with the right edge (ie: if it was a letter size). I've tried changing the settings on the printer, etc, but nothing works. When I print it says "Load cardstock Letter". The printer won't recognize my cardstock unless I align it in the middle, so printing the cardstock by simply aligning it with the letter tab will not work. However, the printer printed it correctly when I printed the same thing from Adobe (choosing the same printer settings from the print dialog box)! I would rather print from Word because I feel like I am losing resolution by printing first to pdf, etc. Can anyone help? Thanks! |

Printing Custom Size Cards
Thank you so much! That totally worked - I never thought of it.

Have you checked the HP site?
