Please know that I am not the best one to answer this question.

I can offer the following limited advice:

Firmware

I did not find anything in the Firmware notices about "Media" sizes -- nonetheless, if you have not done so previously, it is generally recommended that you keep the Firmware Updated.

Please READ all instructions carefully before updating the Firmware.

Reminder: 

Full Solution Software (printer software) must be installed / functional before the Firmware is updated

If the Software supports the Media type you are using, select that first - Next set the Paper Size -- if available, select the size from the supported size list for the Media type.

Documentation provides at least some information that explains how to create a Custom Paper Size.

• If you can select your Media type (photo paper) in the software you are using to submit the job to the printer,
• Create a Custom Size for the job as explained in this document:

       HP Enterprise, HP LaserJet Pro - Select the paper size (Windows)

Reference

How to > Print > Instructions & Settings

 Change print-job settings (Windows)

No idea whether that is all there is to it -- or whether it will work.

Sounds easy enough looking in from the outside...  ??
