printer won't recognize custom size paper

i have a Photosmart Premium C309g that was working fine up until recently. it will not recognize a custom sheet paper that is 3.75" x 9.00. i was able to print 50 wedding invitations for my daughter and when i had to print 25 more the printer does not recognize the paper, i keep getting an error that reads out of paper. if i put a full sheet in the printer it will print. i have also had this issue with trying to print response cards that are 4.00 x 3.75". I have reloaded the HP drivers for this printer, i have bought a new Windows office program and still nothing works. Any ideas would be helpful.

Re: printer won't recognize custom size paper

Do you receive the same "out of paper" message from all the applications you print with? Also are you using a Windows PC or Mac?
