Printing in MS Publisher '07: how do I define the paper size?

cccpr · 07-11-2008, 04:19 PM

I'm running Office '07 Pro Plus on XP SP3, using an Intel Mac and a VMware Fusion installation. I have an HP OfficeJet 6110 all-in-one.

When I go to print a document in Publisher, I'm confused as to how to define the paper size. When I click the "User defined paper size" option in the Print dialog box, there's nothing that pops up allowing me to do just that. If I'm not mistaken, Office '03 allowed you to define the paper size right in the Print box.

Is that option dependent on printer drivers? I don't think that's my problem, because everything prints fine on the Mac side, as does everything BUT Publisher documents on the Windows side when using standard HP drivers. Or is this simply a matter of Microsoft having gone and changed their menus again?

Any ideas?

Have you tried using Page Setup in the File pulldown menu?

I solved it after reverting to an earlier driver set. Would've preferred to stick with the latest ones, but eh. It works now. :)

hm. that's odd. If possible, let the company know about the bug so they can fix it.
