Printing on smaller paper

[Billie]

I have been trying to print some party invitations on paper that is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". I load the paper tray as instructed with the paper to the right side of the tray. Then I change the print preferences to 5 x 8 which is the closest size of my paper. But it still prints as though I'm printing on 8 1/2 x 11. I spent 30 minutes on the phone to the printer manufacturer, and we tried everything there was to try. They say its not the printer. Any ideas?

Hi Billie,

Have you set the page size for your cards to the correct size using the
dialog at File, Page Setup?
