Will it work? 

Maybe.

Depends on:

The weight of your paper

AND

Whether your printer supports Custom Paper Sizes

Check and Create Custom Paper Form

The Specifications  lists the Media (kind of paper) and the paper weights supported:

Paper tray capacities

Paper type	Paper weight	Paper tray
Plain paper	60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb)	Up to 80 sheets (70 g/m2 [20 lb])
Cards	200 g/m2 (110 lb) index max	Up to 30
Envelopes	75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb)	Up to 10
Photo paper	Up to 280 g/m2 (75 lb)	Up to 30

Print Driver Settings Guide (Windows) explains that some printers support  Creating Custom Paper Sizes

IF your printer supports creating a Custom Size form, you will find the form setup in:

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Left-Click on your Printer one time to highlight >

 Left-Click Print Server properties

If your tracing paper is within the weight limitations

and 

If your printer supports creating a Custom Paper Size

then

Create your custom form from a similar size of "Plain paper" form.

After you create the new form, restart your computer and log in.

The Custom Form (whatever you named it) will show up in your Printing Preferences under Paper Size.

Example:

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on printer >

Printing Preferences > Tab Paper/Quality > Advanced > Paper Size: Select New Form Size

(Wording and exact path to Paper Size varies)

Section Custom Paper Sizes

Using the form

The new form can be used with printing programs / applications that support (can see) the extended paper size list.

For example:  

Word supports (can see) custom paper sizes, Adobe Publisher may not be able to make use of the new form(s).
