Printing on legal size paper

S

I am trying to print a legal size document but the only options I get in page
set-up is letter and A4. I tried that but it is not legal size either. I
know my printer can print legal because I do it in Microsoft works. Help.

If the page size dropdown is somehow broken and only gives you those
two sizes, can you type 8.5 and 14 into the size boxes?

Is Word (or Office, or Windows) set to use the correct printer driver
as its default?

You can only set up in Word page sizes that the currently active printer
driver will allow. Word interrogates the driver to determine the settings
available. Other applications may be less restrictive. You *may* be able to
set up a custom size, but most drivers are poor with custom sizes and will
adopt a standard size at print time. You may also be able to create a new
form of the required size -

Open Printers and Faxes.
On the File menu, click Server Properties.
On the Forms tab, select the Create a new form check box.
In Form name, type a name for the new form.
Under Form description (measurements), type the dimensions you want for the
new form.
