SYMPTOMS

After you create and save a custom form for a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 5Si MX printer using a raster driver in Windows NT, the form may not be available in the list of form names.

CAUSE

Custom forms that are not within the following specified limits do not appear in the list of paper sizes:
  • Minimum: 3.67 X 7.5 inches (93 X 191 mm)
  • Maximum: 11.7 X 17.7 inches (297 X 450 mm)
The raster driver was built with these limitations.

These limitations are recommended by Hewlett-Packard and are documented at the following Hewlett-Packard Web site: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

RESOLUTION

To use custom forms that are smaller or larger than the above limitations, install and use a PostScript printer driver. The PostScript driver may require an optional hardware upgrade to the printer.
