Guest Christian Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Hi, I set up several custom papersizes. These papersizes are used to choose the correct papertray of the printer. Unfortunatly the printer ignores them if their ID is greater than 128. Tried to delete some older papersizes but the id is always incremented. So how can I change the papersize-id? Many Thanks Christian

I suggest you repost it in WindowsXP.general (if you run Windows XP). Don't forget to state the brand and model of your printer - if you don't then the replies you get will be nothing other than guesses.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Re: Papersizes OK, now we know your OS and the printer model but since your problem is printer-specific and not server-specific, you may not get many answers here. Have you tried the Kyocera FAQs?

Guest Dusko Savatovic Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Re: Papersizes How do you set paper size? Paper size on my HP printer is set in the paper tray by sliding vertical divider to a preset position. Depending on the position, the printer reports the paper size of the paper tray.

Guest Christian Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Papersizes The papersizes are assigned to the trays by the Devicesettings in the Printerdriver. For instance: tray1 = CustomPaperSize1 tray2 = CustomPaperSize3 tray3 = CustomPaperSize2 "Dusko Savatovic" wrote: > How do you set paper size? > Paper size on my HP printer is set in the paper tray by sliding vertical > divider to a preset position.

Guest Dusko Savatovic Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Papersizes Sorry Christian, but IMHO the cause of the problem is not in the Windows OS, but as you pointed it in the printer driver. You should look for the support at the printer manufacturer. I don't know if the deletion and reinstall of the driver would help. You would, of course loose your current settings, unless there is a way to export them and import them later. It might be worthwile looking where the driver keeps a record of previously used settings. You may search the folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool You may also search thru registry and look for values like "CustomPaperSize1" or whatever you named them. I would then delete few of those setting. Be carefull, of course, and have backup of your registry and content of the folder where you intend to make changes.

Guest Christian Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Re: Papersizes Hi Alan, i used the Macro-Editor of Excel. First I set the needed papersize in File->Pagesetup and then called the ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PaperSize method.

Guest Alan Morris [MSFT] Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Re: Papersizes I'm not sure why the printer would ignore some paper sizes but that more a question for the printer manufacture, or is it Excel that can't enumerate more than 128 paper sizes and you wish to delete any paper sizes that are not used so the list does not exceed 128? Forms data is added when a new printer / driver is added so anytime a new printer gets added to the system, there is the potential for an increase in the number of forms. Form data is stored in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms If the printer is a connection, delete the connection, fix the forms on the server, then make the connection again. If out stop / start the spooler service after deleting forms, does the index number change? -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Guest Christian Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Re: Papersizes I suppose Excel does it right. Because if not, I wouldn't be able to select one of the papersizes above ID 128. Deleting forms does decrease the ID of some forms. Probably just the forms with a higher ID than the form, which was deleted. But thats enough for my purpose. Thanks a lot. > I'm not sure why the printer would ignore some paper sizes but that more a > question for the printer manufacture, or is it Excel that can't enumerate > more than 128 paper sizes and you wish to delete any paper sizes that are > not used so the list does not exceed 128? > Forms data is added when a new printer / driver is added so anytime a new > printer gets added to the system, there is the potential for an increase in > the number of forms. > > > Form data is stored in the registry > > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms > > If the printer is a connection, delete the connection, fix the forms on the > server, then make the connection again. > > > If out stop / start the spooler service after deleting forms, does the index > number change? > -- > Alan Morris > Windows Printing Team > Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: > http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1
