Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

The printer supports Custom Paper sizes.

 

  • Check that your paper also meets the specifications for supported paper type and paper weight.

 

  • Install the full driver printer software to gain access to the printer features.

 

After the driver is installed,

  • Create the custom size paper form
  • Alert the printer to the paper size / type - Tray and Paper
  • Check that the Printer Properties is set to use that full driver as opposed to a Microsoft or IPP class driver.

 

Details and some of the places to recheck your setup...
