Templates

I am trying to print a 5" x 7" single fold invitation card.  There does not seem to be either a blank template or one I could adapt for this size to print on the HP Photosmart C6280.  I understand it has to be portrait as that is the only way the printer will accept it.  Is there any way I can do this?

Hi! @caboodle_, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

I understand you are trying to print 5" x 7" invitation card on your printer but your printer prints a blank page.

Don't worry I'd like to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Are you make to make a copy of that size from your printer?

I have checked the records and you can print 5x7 by creating a custom paper size.

Please try the steps recommended below to create custom paper size.

To set up the new custom paper size, create the new size in the printer software.
Search Windows for devices, and then click Devices and Printers in the list of results.
Click the icon for your printer, and then click Print server properties.
If Print server properties do not display, right-click an empty area in the Printers window, select Run as administrator from the drop-down menu, and then select Server Properties.
If the User Account Control window displays, click Continue.
On the Forms tab, select the Create a new form check box, and then type a name for the new paper size in Form name.
   NOTE:
You must choose a different, unique name for the new custom paper size. Do not use an existing paper size name.

Select Metric or English, and then type the dimensions of your custom paper in the Width and Height text boxes.

Note: Leave the Printer area margins set at 0.00.

Click Save Form, and then click OK or Close.
   NOTE:
Supported paper sizes vary by printer. If you input custom dimensions that your printer does not support, the new custom paper size does not display when you attempt to print. Check the printer specifications for your printer for more information on supported paper sizes.

Refer this article to know more information about printing custom sizes.

I'll watch your reply!

Take Care! 🙂

Thank you for that advice, it has helped me solve my problem although it has taken a lot of subsequent work to get the layout printed correctly.  Many thanks
