After the transition from XP to Windows 7, the custom-printing size selection box has failed.

I always was able to use my C5180 Photosmart to print pictures of custom size on my old computer with XP.  After getting a new computer with Windows 7, the custom size box says "the custom paper that you have just set will become unavailable for selection until you have left and returned in the preferences to print/properties." (I did too many times to count!) All except 'Cancel' choices are grayed out.  This feature still works on my old computer, even if the box selection and formulation are different.  I have checked and checked the drivers and we have tried many other solutions.  I have worked in this market for a week or two and see that many other people have similar problems.  I would like to buy a new hp printer, but see that even with the new hp printers people have problems with paper sizes custom, which is very important to me - I print a lot of cards of various sizes, mainly of 6.5 X 10 inches.  Of course, no support is available for this printer "obsolete". (It may be "obsolete", but it works fine with XP). I also can't get any definitive information on this feature in the new hp printers and have noted that some people have problems with this feature on the new printers also.

Thank you so much Shane R. for your expert advice.

Can I try your solution in the future, but right now I'm satisfied by another solution, I realized with the help of a thematically response on a Windows 7 forum.

First of all, I'm pretty positive, I used the correct driver because I downloaded the most recent, verified and recontroler, etc.  And, fortunately, most of the features all-in-one is working well.  Because of this, I hate to try drivers for another model - as I have solve my problem. I could end up with another problem - as no function of scan or something.

Here is how I was able to get custom formats:

'Start' to 'control panel' for 'Hardware and Sound' ('View drivers and printers')

Click on the printer

Choose "Print server properties" at the top of the screen

Click 'create a new form.

Give form a new name, for example 7-10 card and put the name into the box just above

Complete custom down, for example, print size 7 x 10

Click 'save form '.

Click "close".

The custom name and size is then appeared in the photo program I feel for and I was able to use it.

Thank you, again. (Where can I provide Bravo?)

  • HP Officejet 4635 - need assistance to change the custom print size

    I am trying to print a card - 3.5 "x 8.5" on my HP Officejet 4635 and can not find the place where to select a "custom size" in the paper/quality - advanced space.  Much choice is there, just not 3.5 x 8.5 "and nothing nearby in mm.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Size 3.5 x 8.5 inches is not supported by the device, custom paper size is not supported on Windows OS.

    You can give a try to the size of Japanese envelope Chou #4, which is the closest option to you to your needs, otherwise I'm afraid, is not a supported format.

  • 4630 printer does not recognize the custom page size

    I print a lot of thank you notes, which are the size of page 6 x 9, and the margins must start lower than the middle of the page. The problem is that the printer won't let me in the custom page size, rather it wants to print A4 size or format card index or one envelope size. How can I make the printer recognize the format of the exact page?

  • There are six boxes to enter the serial number and the serial number on my box has 24 digits. The first six are not recognized

    I tried to enter a serial number into the regulatory policy process where we show only six boxes to enter the serial number. But the serial number on my box has 24 digits. When I walked into the top six, they were not recognized. Any suggestions on what to try next.

    Normally, you enter 4 digits in each of the 6 boxes.

    Once the 24 digit has been entered in the validation process takes place to confirm if the integer is valid.

    When I send someone a document I changed if his crossing of the stuff or by adding arrows, when the customer print, it does not show my changes, I'm going through our prices so visitors cannot see and when the customer print them they can see prices?

    You probably use drawing markup tools. There are options to print with or without annotations. You can not change this.

    If you don't want them to see the prices, either remove the original document and recreate the pdf without them there or you can use the redaction tools in the full paid for version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    I use LR CC, the newer version on a Windows7 PC.

I have no problem if you select Photo Info in the Style of single Image/Contact sheets available, but when I move the custom printing package, the news picture checkbox in the Page Panel, disappears.

  • Photoshop CS can not show the actual print size & other bugs...

    Even if I set in preferences exact points of my screen by thumb (which is 92,72), leaders in mm and the actual printing of the document, size when I click on the print size of display, the document will appear much smaller than actual size! I also put the printer (a printer virtual pdf) in A1 to avoid a possible scale of the print size. If the software has all the necessary information, but still it can't find the actual print size!  You guys think that? Personally, I think that the developers could not understand how to do a simple task either!  Even if I work on photoshop CS occasionally, I found too many bugs to mention.  The most frustrating, is that it suddenly stops responding to the shortcuts! So I have to select all the items in the menus or save, exit, restart and re - open records - now imagine being in the middle of a complicated task...  Another big annoying bug: when I "Select all" to copy a layer, if this layer can have a few pieces surrounded by transparency, Photoshop destroyed their position and the overall picture, in centering arbitrarily these pieces in the glued frame!  In addition, too often all temporarily disappears if I stop for a moment while I drag a marquee selection etc. They did not yet able to move in a gray background without being invisible cursor!  So much for a "professional" expensive application  Note that I installed the patches for this version. I know it is a little dated but as I said, I work occasionally and I don't want to pay hundreds of euros almost every year for a new version upgrade while I'm not yet happy with the previous!   BTW, on this thread editor when I hit 'enter' to start a new line, the cursor goes at the beginning of the document.  Now, are drunk with Adobe web developers, or what?  Sorry, I can't stand too much stupidity right now...

  • Windows Update feature connects to the Windows Update server after the transition from XP to Windows 7 Pro.

    Updated XP PC to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  First upgrade failed due to the bad version of Win 7.  (Distorted version of seller).  Correct version relocation has left two versions installed so I started reinstalling the correct version and reformat selected before continuing.  (21/04/16)  Installation proceeds correctly, validated and activated license, but the update function didn't work.  One version on the disc after the previous action.  Then I downloaded and installed IE 11 manually the version 11.0.9600 of Microsoft (same date) and then downloaded and installed MSE from Microsoft 4.9.218.0 version (same date).   MSE updates have not downloaded initially until I ran Win update problems solving.

    I have since run program sfc/scannow (without problems of integrity or repaired files), update Windows utility for troubleshooting and Fixit programs.  I also stopped the update service, delete the appropriate configuration of software and restarted the service records.  Still not connection with update server.

    Download and install the following update manually. This greatly speeds up the update of Windows on new installations of Windows 7.

  • Transition from XP to Windows 7, can't locate the little information?

    I'm not very savvy of computer programming. As indicated, I have Windows XP 2002, service pack 3. Follow the instructions in Microsoft XP to find the number of "bits: under the property system.» Unable to find these.

    Also, should I move from XP to 7?

    * original title - change from XP to Windows 7?  XP version 2002, Service Park 3. Cannot find info.* bits

    You probably have XP 32 bit, namely:

    If your computer is running Windows XP, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start.

    2. Do right click my computer and then click Properties.

      • If you don't see "x 64 Edition" in the list, then you are running 32-bit Windows XP.

      • If "x 64 Edition" is listed under system, you are running the 64 bit version of Windows XP.

    Installation custom own steps

    Time to use:
    Or the transition from XP to 7, not supported in place upgrade paths (ex: Vista Home Pro 7)
    A Windows system to 32 bit on a 64 bit system, or change the language
    Don't want to make a room upgrade, or if you want a fresh install / clean

    You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings on an external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    2. backup all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer

    3. find the discs installation and license/product associated to all your programs keys, because you have to manually reinstall all programs. If you have downloaded some Internet programs you can redownload them.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation do you want?" click "Custom (advanced)." Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.
      
    5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.

    This means that the hard drive of your HP system controller is not supported by Windows 7 with pilots from the box and you need specific drivers to install Windows 7 on it.  If HP does not have drivers on their website then you're probably not going to succeed.
