Custom paper size with Epson printer
When I print to an Epson 1160 connected to a computer
running 98SE I can set a custom paper size. When I print to the same printer through the network from a computer running XP Pro there is no custom paper size option in the dialog box. How do you set a custom paper size in XP? Don |

Did you install the driver from Epson on your Win98 system? It sounds like
the difference is that the driver included with WinXP does not have the same options as the one that you installed from Epson. Check to see if there is an XP driver available from Epson. Just in case it's there and you didn't find it, I can set "User defined" paper size for my Epson printer while running XP by right-clicking the printer in the printers folder. Click Properties, Printing Preferences, Paper (tab). Under Paper Size, click the down arrow and find "User defined" on the list if the paper size that you need is not there.

Thanks. I did need to get the Epson XP driver. I now get
the same dialog box, including the custom size option, with XP that I did with 98SE. However, I still get the generic dialog box, without the custom size option, when I try to use the 98SE machine to print using the network. I uninstalled and reinstalled that printer but it did not help. Don -----Original Message----- Did you install the driver from Epson on your Win98 system?

I guess I'm confused. Is this another Win98SE computer? I thought the
printer was connected to the Win98 system and working correctly? Did you move the printer? Did you use the driver from Epson to install the driver on the Win98 system?

Using WinXP or 2000 is easy. You can go
in CONTROL PANEL, then in PRINTERS. From FILE, select SERVER PROPERTIES. Then from the FORMS tab click CREATE NEW FORM. -----Original Message----- I guess I'm confused.
