Envelope Printer
Shane:
You can edit the sizes.dat file in notepad and add any that you want :-)
My printer (Laserjet 1020) doesnt support custom sizes, unless I go to the printer properties and add it there. So I couldnt test it. So I have the program load all the paper sizes reported by the printer as before, I just label them Printer Supported and then the rest is loaded from the sizes.dat file. So now if a person has a printer that supports custom sizes they can use those, for people who cant use custom sizes, like myself, can use the printer supported ones.
Since the custom one worked for you then I think the program should be good to go. I will put out the new version later today or tomorrow. Thanks again for testing! :wink:

I just edited the 'sizes' file and see it would be easy to add any missing envelope size thou again, I think you have them all covered. I'm glad it works on Canon printers.
Maybe others will respond to let you know what type printers work and which don't, just for nice to know info.

My laserjet 1020 is pretty old came out in 2007, it is amazing it still works lol
It all comes down to the drivers. In this case HP never updated the drivers to allow it, they make you have to go manually add it instead of using the form sizes that are on the system.
Most newer printers "should" be ok as there are so many programs that do custom size printing.
But at least having both options in the program will allow the user to have a way that works no matter what. As for me and this printer if I needed a custom size I would have to go manual added a custom one in the printer properties and then that new one shows up in the printer supported list in the program.

My Laserjet 4L came out in 1993, and yes it is my everyday printer. I currently print approx 2,000 pages per month. Getting harder to find MB's with real parallel ports on them. The parallel to USB cables do not work anywhere near as well.
