I am trying to print sentence strips 3" high by 22" long. When I go to page
setup and set the margins to .5" on all 4 sides, landscape orientation, and
then choose custom size and set that to 3" high by 22" wide I receive the
following message:

1 or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page. Choose the
Fix button to increase the appropriate margins.

When I select Fix the margin settings are changed to .5" on the left and
11.58" on the right. If I ignore this message, the printer still stops less
at less than halfway.

I am printing on an HP Deskjet 5940 and I have already created custom paper
size settings to 3" by 23.39" as per HP's directions.

Am I missing a setting in Word? I was originally trying to print to 23" and
after reaading other postings I changed the settings to 22", but I am still
receiving the same error.
