Your not the only one who didn't know this existed. This is great. I now wonder if I could apply this same technique to some issues we have with some of our HP plotters and paper sizing issues with some users.
Thank you for sharing this Jim

Wow! I can't believe the email I got from Okidata's technical support! I emailed them asking them if there was a way to set up a custom paper size, since it seems that ability is gone with an XP driver. They steered me to a menu that I didn't even know existed!!!!! Text below.

Go to START/PRINTERS AND FAXES, highlight the printer and select FILE in the
upper left corner, and click on SERVER PROPERTIES.
In the Print Server Properties window check the box "Create New Form", this will
allow you to provide a name for the form.
Next, set the form parameters under the Measurements section.
Click Save Form and your newly created form will appear in the box above.
Now close the Window.
Next click on File and then click on Printing Preferences. Under the Layout Tab click on the Advanced button. Select the form you just created from the drop down list under Paper Size. Click OK and Close the Printer Preferences window.
Next right click on the printer icon that you will use with the newly created
form.
Click on Properties and then on the Device Settings tab.
Select the form from the drop down list and apply the changes.
The newly created form is now set as the default paper size within the selected
Print Driver.
