    Re: 9" x 12" Envelopes

    I have a couple of customers that still send out Xmas cards on all different odd sizes of paper with matching envelopes. I also have some other customers that use odd size pieces of paper as part of their internal procedures. A review of how to print on custom paper and envelope sizes is not a bad thing.

    Sometimes their is some confusion between using Imperial and metric sizes to complete this task.

    In Microsoft Word, usually at the very bottom of the first tab is "Word Options". Under Advanced, you half to scroll down to Display. Here under "Show measurement in units of:", you can change back and forth from Imperial to Metric.

    Also probably not on your list:

    Kiku (Japan): 8.94 x 12.05
    E4 (Sweden): 8.622 x 12.205
    11 or A5x2 or A4 (Soviet): 8.27 x 11.69
    German Standard Fanfold: 8 1/2 x 12

    Look for yourself:

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Re: 9" x 12" Envelopes

    One other hurdle I had to overcome, on my laptop, I have more than 10 different print drivers plus I have two copiers on the LAN.

    It is not hard to imagine an office with a couple of printers, copiers and print drivers.

    I went to test the 9 x 12 envelopes that I had created a custom paper size in my print driver but they would not appear in Word not matter what I did.

    As it turns out my default printer is a different print driver than the one I was trying to print envelopes with.

    Once I selected the correct print driver pointed at the correct copier, the custom envelope size showed up in my Page size options.

    It took me half an hour to figure that one out.

    It's an occupational hazard. I had nearly 100 print drivers loaded to my old laptop (before Universal Drivers). I've only got 25 drivers on the new laptop, of which the Lexmark Universal driver makes a great short term driver to almost anything without department codes.

    There was a time when all Microsoft Office software required you to select your printer before you launched the software.
