Been a long time since I set this up. I have a "paper size" set in my PRINTER preferences itself called "QSL Card" (you can call it anything). Then I choose that from the custom paper. Hopefully this gets you started. I could do some more research if needed. It is nice putting a pile of my printed cards with a blank spot for QSL info in the laser printer and just spitting them out.
