Enabling new paper sizes (Forms)

Only standard sizes of formulars are included by default. If you require other forms, you have to add them.

  • Start the „Print Management“ Console (printmanagement.msc).
  • Expand the „Print Servers“ node. If your print server isn't listed, add it, via right-click / „Add/Remove Servers...“.
