Welcome to the HP English Community --
There is not a precise "few words" answer to this question, at least not in the context of the thousands of HP printer models available in the world.
In general,
True - Depending on the Printer model, the Operating System, and the apps or software available, the paper size and type as detected by the printer, some printers only support printing on standard size paper.
What else?
HP Smart Applications for Windows / MacOS / Mobile tend to follow the paper size when printing. There are few manual options for changing the size of the print on paper and possibly limited methods of detecting or using custom sized paper.
Where a full driver printer software is available for the printer and the Operating System version,
- Windows provides the best options for printing what you want in terms of size of print on paper.
- Windows provides the most robust applications and software to print on custom paper sizes.
