I select printer properties and then paper quality tab. I then try to create a custom paper size of 8.5" W and 16" H.
But it does not allow any paper size longer that 14".

Welcome to the HP Community --
The printer is behaving as designed --
The printer does not support paper longer than the maximum of 14 inches.
