Re: Custom size has been grayed out after upgraded to 10.6.5 --- fix available

2010-12-05 by Danny

I went to the download page and don't see a 2.7.1 just 2.7.0.  Am I missing something?  is it somewhere else?  Or is the page not changed but the software fix applied under the old number.  I'd appreciate some enlightenment.  
Thanks much in advance.

I followed the same instructions, leaving Terminal app open and restarted (the same way I did the first time when it worked). Now custom sizes again is not available. By the way the printer was on. I did it again with the printer off & closed the Terminal app, then restarted. Again, custom sizes are not available.
