Setting up Special paper size in Print spooler

Can somebody go thru the Correct procedure to create a special paper size for a printer. I cannot find anywhere in the system preferences-printer & Fax where a new document size can be entered. In the Windows world, I know exactly what to do, but in the MAC world, I'm still missing the big picture.

Help, please. And feel free to go into great detail, since I like to know as much as possible...

Thanks

G5, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

In the Page Setup or Print Dialogs, select Manage Custom Sizes… in the Paper Size menu. That will allow you to manage custom paper sizes. You can type "Creating a custom page size" in the Finder's Help menu to get more information.

Hope this helps.

John,

Thanks for the help. I'm using a toshiba e-studio printer and still can't control the input tray for the special size paper... It's frustrating.

I did manage to find the paper special size setup and as soon as I find how to control input trays, I'll be all set to print on these special size projects.

Thanks.

Brent, there should be a paper handling PDE in the menu that has the Layout options in it.

Hope this helps.
