Trying To Set Printer To Print On 5x7 Paper

I am trying to print on 5x7 card stock but it is not working - I have 5x7 custom paper added as one of my choices but after I selected in all the windows,  the image partially comes out in landscape placement even though I have portrait selected - Are there other settings I am missing to get it to print on a 5x7 paper?thanks

You need to create a custom paper size for the 5x7.

Open Control panel - choose printers - select your printer and right click.  Choose "Printer Properties." Next click on the "configuration" menu tab.  Choose the menu box at the bottom center called "Custom Paper Sizes."  The 1st custom size comes up.  Type 5 for the "short" field and 7 for the "long" field. Check the box to name the paper size and add the title 5x7 in the empty box.  Next time you print remember to choose this paper size and you should get the desired result.

(you might want to create a second size (4x7) while you are there.)  These are common sizes.
