- The paper sizes available are determined by the PPD for your printer. If DL
- or custom aren't listed, your PPD doesn't have them in it.
-
- We do not make PPD files---they are made by the manufacturers of printers.
-
- Many desktop printers do NOT support custom paper sizes. If you don't have
- custom listed, it's because your printer doesn't support it. Check your
- printer's manual to see what it supports. The manual for my printer says
- it doesn't support custom sizes, thus I don't have custom in my PPD.

- >Ideally, for starters there needs to be a Custom option in the page size
-
- Sorry, we cannot do this. This is the way it works in every major DTP
- program and for a reason. Page
- Stream can only print out the paper sizes supported by your printer, and
- it relies on the PPD file to tell it what sizes are available. If you
- don't like the sizes listed in your PPD file, complain to your printer
- manufacturer.

- PS: pgs2.2 used to allow custom to every postscript printer, just like
- propage, but that's not legal. PageStream 3 follows the PostScript rules
- more closely.
