Hi,

You can, but it will not be shown on the driver.

 

Use an alternative driver to achieve a such:

  1. Open Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  2. Right click the printer and select Properties.
  3. From the ports tab, take a note of which port is selected and close that screen.
  4. Click on Add a Printer.
  5. Select Add a local printer.
  6. Select the existing port used by your printer (step 3) and click Next.
  7. Select HP.
  8. Select HP Deskjet 6940 / 6980 and follow the steps to complete the wizard.

Now try printing using the newly added printer, it will include A5 as a paper size.

 

Please let me know the results,

Hi dhyk, HP has a video covering how to change your paper size here: LINK

 

This can be done by adjusting options from within the program you're printing on. Please let me know if this helps, or if you have any questions.
