Just got a great deal on some glossy pre-scored blank Christmas card paper. I make my own Christmas cards in PS every year.
This year I bought an odd (for me) size, 7inWx10inH. When printing from PS I can't for the life of me find where the setting is
for custom paper size in the Canon driver. I can choose that size in Word and I can choose B5 size from the Canon driver but not from PS.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? The printer is a MP640.

When you first open Photoshop choose from file (New) and youll get this tab up
where you can select your own custom paper size and DPI etc..

Then when youre ready to print click on the print button youll get up Printing Preferences,
choose Paper setup and select Custom (At the very bottom)

Now both Photoshop and the Print driver will be set to the very same size paper.
Happy Printing..:)

Not an uncommon size - folded in half it is a 5x7 card with an inner and outer surgace for printing. The only problem tis size presents is if you would want to print borderless.
