HP Printers - Creating Custom Paper Sizes

This document is for HP inkjet printers introduced after February 2013.

You can print to non-standard paper sizes with many types of HP home and small office printers. Print to any size paper within the minimum and maximum printing dimensions supported by your printer.

caution:
To avoid print quality problems and other issues, make sure your custom size does not exceed the actual size of your paper.

Create custom paper sizes in Windows

To print on a custom paper size in Windows, create the new size in the printer properties menu (Windows 10 and Windows 8 only) or Devices and Printers, and then select the new size for your print job.

In the Print window, click Preferences, Properties, or Printer Properties.
Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then click Custom.

If you do not see a Custom button on the Paper/Quality tab of the printer properties window, skip to the section to Create custom paper sizes from Devices and Printers.
In the Custom Paper Size window, click New.
Type a name for your custom paper size, adjust the width and height to your preference, and then click OK.
