Attention matters

Item One: You can only create a custom paper type for the default printer. When you have more than one printer in your system, you create a custom paper type for the default printer, even if you select a different printer than the default.

Item Two: The printer is limited to its mechanical structure, such as paper system, paper induction system and other reasons, have their own paper size of the most basic requirements, so not all the paper size can be supported. Some users want to print 10cm of paper of the following width, for example, 7cm wide card nameplate, custom good paper, but found in the printer's properties do not have this type of paper, this is because many printers acquiesce to the minimum paper width of 10cm, less than this wide paper because the printer can not guarantee smooth paper, Get the paper right and don't support user settings.

Item Three: The above is described in the WinXP system as an example, and is fully applicable to Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
