| 528374 | 2007-02-26 21:32:00 | I upgraded to XP last year and since then I have been unable to set custom paper sizes. I am at present trying to print mailing labels (about 250) on a Panasonic KX P2023 dot matrix using the tractor feed. I am using data from Access 2000. I have looked at Access help that tells me how to do it, but XP is different and doesn't have a Paper tab on the printer property window. I have had the same problem using my Brother HL2040 Laser, doing a different job where I wanted to use an A4 sheet split longitudinally. Is there any way to set custom paper sizes under XP? Brucem |

Often, with older printers, only basic functionality is provided by the Windows XP native drivers, you need the printer makers own updated drivers for full functionality. If they are available... |
