Click Start-Control Panel-Printers and Faxes.
Click File-Server Properties and check "Create a new form".
Define a new form description and click Save Form.

Go into the printer device settings and see if the new form shows up.

Oh wise one. Thank you for your guidance. I have manage to print out my
report with the added format size using the steps you have shown me.

It has helped me so much. I thank you again.

I had the same problem and tried that solution. The new form doesn't show up
in any applications or printers.

Verify that the form size you are adding is within the boundaries of the
Custom settings in the gpd file for the printer.

The gpd is usually filename.gpd where the filename has something to do with
the printer name
kxp1121.gpd

it's a text file. There should be a CUSTOM section of the inf

Also you could experiment by creating several forms of different sizes and
determine which forms are available for the queue.
