Problems with settings via software with HP2840

[Nifrabar]

Hi!

Here in Holland we usually have A4-sizes sheets.
For special purpose like printing kind of checks we are having 3 of them on one sheet which has length size of 12" in total.
I am using a custom VFP application to print.
Any idea how to programmaticly set tray 1 to that size?

TIA
-Bart

Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is generally
best to use the driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size setting, such
as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.

To create a custom paper size, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers (Windows 2000) or
Printers and Faxes (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003). Click the File menu, click Server
Properties, and then select the Create a new form check box. Specify a name and dimensions for your
paper size, and then click the Save Form button. This new paper size will be included in any list of paper
sizes in the driver and application tabs. The print dialogs for various software programs also often have
settings that allow you to create custom paper sizes.

Next check that the manual tray is set to custom via the toolbox or EWS (embedded webserver if networked) paper handling options.
