These are the steps for the 1280 driver, which should be similar in concept
to those for the 1160.

In Photoshop, click on:

1. Page Setup
2. Select printer
3. Click Properties
4. Click Paper tab
5. Select User Defined from the drop down Paper Size list
6. Specify units, type in a name, and save


If it works, you owe me a cigar.

go under "customize, and click "new"  Then, type your new size in the
first box, i.e. 9.5x13  just like that. with an x dividing the 2 sides
of the paper.  Then type the same numbers in the width-height boxes, and
always use the shortest dimension first.

Sorry, Jerry, but where exactly are you finding "customize" ?  In the 
printer driver?  Or in Photoshop?

I can't find anywhere to enter this data.

Peter, I'm on a Mac, so if you are on a PC, my directions probably won't
work! In Page Setup there is a button on the far upper right that says
"Customize".  This is where you enter the new paper size.
