How to print on custom size paper with Officejet Pro 8600 N911a

[Virginia1]

I have to run out to do errands and can't print right now.  Will check it later this afternoon when I get back.

Thank you.  You gave me a solution I could not get from the HP rep.

I am running vista and have the same problem, I followed what u said for the other person up to the point of the mfg box opening, that never happened and I never had any options. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Hello Bossroc13.

I understand your concerns. What printer do you have? Please click here to find out: Model Number.

If you need assistance, please verify your exact issue so I can assist you further.

Are you trying to print a custom size paper?

Also, you can try an alternative driver as a work around. Click here to find out this information from Shane_R post.

Once I find out your model number, I can verify if your printer supports "customer size paper", since only some printers support this feature.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thank you! This worked exactly the way you said it would and I have Vista. I was trying to print labels and couldn't get it to work because of my special paper and now it works perfect so I don't have to return my printer. Kudos Kicktires!

I am trying to print with my HP 8600 on a custom size paper and there is no option to choose a custom size.  Any help would be appreciated - as I love to do at home invitations etc and this necessitates the use of custom sizes.  thank you

Thanks!  This worked like a charm!  I can't understand why the HP Officjet Pro 8600 won't allow custom paper sizes while the 8500 did.  But I'm happy now.

I read the solution to use a setup for a HP deskjet 9800 printer and this allows me to make a custom size, however my Pro 8600 prints right justified using the deskjet 9800 choice - I have the landscape, face down, right end first, center options checked in the print setup. I am printing mailer postcards 4.25 X 5.5. The Pro 8600 paper guide tray only centers the paper media and the print misses my postcard. - I tested using an 8X11 and could see where it prints (to the right). Maybe I am missing something - appreciate any suggestions.

Additional info -  I am using Dazzle postage software to print - all seems fine in Dazzle - I just choose the HP9800 as my printer.

Hey there!

First of I was very grateful to find your post here. I purchased the HP 8600 specifically to print my wedding invitations and of course found out for myself I was unable to custom size pages. Your suggestion made it possible!

However now I am trying to print my RSVP cards and now although the printer '9800' states read word recognizes an issue with the printer and says cannot be recognized - DESPITE it woring perfectly 3 days ago! I can print to printer 9800 in wordpad but of course that program does not support my RSVP template....plz help I am stuck!
