Windows 10: My HP all-in-one printer will not auto select different paper sized between the main tray...

I have just purchased a HP Officejet Pro 7740 series PCL-3 all-in-one printer. My IT person installed it thru our network. It prints great, except for the fact that when I want to print on a specific size paper, I need to direct the printer to the tray that is storing that paper. Should not the "printer auto select" setting have the printer automatically find the tray containing the requested paper size?

Custom-Sized Form Created in Printer Driver Properties Not Displaying as a Selectable Paper Size in Excel (Office 365)

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

While Word offers the flexibility to create custom paper size through Page setup menu, Excel doesn't offer this flexibility to create through Excel easily. You will have to create the custom size in a particular printer (if
that printer supports custom size) and while printing through Excel, you will have to select this custom size. Sometimes you will not be able to choose the custom size as page sizes available are defined by the printer driver. Please let us know the make and
model number of your printer.



Also, make sure that you have the latest drivers. Now if you printer drivers support the size you are trying to print, please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open a spread sheet that you are trying to print and press Ctrl key + P (to print).
   
2. Then Click on Page Setup.
   
3. Then click on Sheet and then on Options.
   
4. Then click on Advanced and check if you are able to choose the size under Paper/Output.
   

For more information on this, you can refer to article:
Change page size, paper size, or page orientation



Hope this Helps.

 

Printer's default paper size ignored


I often print to PDFs. My PDF printers are set to a default paper size of Legal. But when I print the size is Letter and I have to change it each time. This used to work. I'm not sure when it changed.

• Windows Setting Manage Default Printer is not checked
• Doesn't matter which printer I use - PDFCreator, Bullzip PDF, Adobe PDF
• Windows 10 build 1803
• Happens when printing from many apps - Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Email
• Works properly when printing from other apps - Notepad, Notepad++, browsers
• Happens on multiple computers - desktop and laptop

Any tips on how to get the printer default paper size to work?
