I have 11x14 paper that I want to use for printing. That size isn't listed on the choices for the printer and I cannot find anywhere how to add a custom size. Can anyone help?

When you go to the print dialogue on your post-processing program, is there an "untitled" option? If so, you can make almost any odd size you wish, and *many*, as well. That's how it works on my Pro-10 - I have 7x10, 9x13, 5x5, and others, as well as 14x26 (yes, 14x26). On the Pro-10 the 14x26 can be printed with the manual tray, and you may be able to do it on the 200.

I cannot see any "untitled option". I can see a custom option but it won't let me do anything. Frustrating. I did google this but can't find anything concrete.

This is Canon's service number:

I've had printer issues (connectivity via WiFi) before and they have always been very helpful.

I'm going to add: You can always use the Tabloid (11x17) option, and print only on the that section (I believe it will be the bottom portion). You're doing a work-around - the printer will see the 11" width [and not know the length] but you'll have to attend to it after each print.

Thanks, Tony. I will give them a call.

When I want to print an image of a different size (although 11x14 isn't odd at all), I simply open it in PS and make the CANVAS size the standard size. This centers the image on the paper (or puts it where you want it) and prints the standard size paper. Then you can either trim off the excess or mat it out.

Yeah, that'll work too. But I think the Tabloid option I gave would be the simplest 'down and dirty' workaround, especially since we don't know what PP she is using. Your solution works just as well with LR (which I use) by positioning the print (under 'Layout') in the Print dialogue, under 'Printer...'.

Are you sure you haven't missed it.

I have the Canon Pro 300 and "Custom" is at the very bottom of the list of paper sizes.

Also, I use Canon's Professional Print and Layout software and in that "Specify Custom Size" is at the top of the list.

Some articles seem to state that this software only works with the Prograf printers like the Pro 300. However, this is not right as the link below confirms. The software is free download and is very good IMHO.

Yes, I could do that, but I have 100 sheets of (expensive) Red River paper in 11x14 so I want to use that. Thanks for the suggestion.
