HP Designjet Printers - PhotoShop CS3 custom page size tips and tricks
When printing from Photoshop CS3, if a custom page size is selected in the driver, the result is often printed in Letter, so a large part of the image is clipped. This document describes the settings to avoid this.
Cause
The application cannot correctly communicate the page size, and therefore uses the default, which is usually Letter.
Workaround
The recommended way of selecting a page size in Photoshop CS3 is the following:
Select File
, Print
, and select the page size in File (as Page Setup often does not work).

In the Print dialog box, click on Page Setup
to open the driver.

Create the custom page size in the driver. When creating custom page sizes define them with a width smaller than the length. If necessary, change the orientation to landscape to adapt to your image. This recommendation applies also to previous versions of Photoshop.
