Dragon-Fur has outlined in example #2 exactly the steps that I followed.  However, when I set up this new deminsion and name it and then click ok, it is still not available to use.  How to I get it onto my list of paper size choices so that I can use it?

@Trying_2000- 

 

This is somewhat of an orphan post.

Same question and concern addressed in a different thread of the same thread name:

 

See your answer(s) here.

The second post was because the first one did not work.  What is an Orphan Post?    I tried exactly what you outlined with no result.  Any other ideas?

OK.  Apologies for the confusion.

 

I just meant that you had already asked the same question earlier today and received a response on another thread of the same name: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/Setting-Custom-Paper-Size/m-p/7749233

 

 

Laserjet is not my specialty; I am not as familiar with the Laserjet Printer series, the printer software drivers, or settings as is 

 

I have offered what I can contribute in the May thread:

I am sorry, of course, that the examples I provided originally did not resolve the issue.
