Hi @Frank1083 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for explaining your goal so clearly. Printing on custom-sized paper like 6" x 6" with the HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e is absolutely possible, but it requires a few specific steps to ensure the printer and driver recognize the dimensions correctly.

Here’s how to set it up:

 

🛠 Step-by-Step Guide to Print on 6" x 6" Paper

1. Prepare the Paper

• Use clean, flat 6" x 6" sheets.
• Load the paper into the main input tray.
• Adjust the paper width guides snugly against the stack.

 

2. Create a Custom Paper Size on Your Computer

On Windows:

• Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers
• Right-click your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e → Printing Preferences
• Click Advanced > Paper Size > Custom
• Enter 6.00 inches x 6.00 inches
• Save and apply the settings

On macOS:

• Open the document you want to print
• Go to File > Print
• In the print dialog, click Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes
• Create a new size: 6 x 6 inches
• Save and select it before printing

 

3. Adjust Print Settings in Your Application

• Set margins appropriately to avoid clipping—try 0.25 inches on all sides
• Choose Plain Paper as the media type
• Set print quality to Normal or Best depending on your needs

 

4. Print the Document

• Send the job and monitor the printer display for any prompts
• If the printer asks to confirm paper size, select Custom or User Defined

You’ve already taken the right step by choosing a versatile printer—let’s make sure it handles your custom format smoothly.
