SYMPTOMS
========

After you create and save a custom form for a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 5Si
MX printer using a raster driver in Windows NT, the form may not be available in
the list of form names.

CAUSE
=====

Custom forms that are not within the following specified limits do not appear in
the list of paper sizes:

 - Minimum: 3.67 X 7.5 inches (93 X 191 mm)

 - Maximum: 11.7 X 17.7 inches (297 X 450 mm)

The raster driver was built with these limitations.

These limitations are recommended by Hewlett-Packard and are documented at the
following Hewlett-Packard Web site:

RESOLUTION
==========

To use custom forms that are smaller or larger than the above limitations,
install and use a PostScript printer driver. The PostScript driver may require
an optional hardware upgrade to the printer.
