Ecxel Page setup

I have a HP printer which prints in Rolls. I have many documents of variable lengths, and have set them up, but I seem to have run out of the number of page sizes I can set up.

I want to:

Be able to delete some unused ones and

Amend some of the ones I have eg change the length to a bit longer

I have googled the problem but someone suggests say to click the minus sign to remove a page, but I do not get a minus sign to do this, and I cannot amend the length on an existing one.

    Open Settings and navigate to the Printers and Scanners:

    Select your printer and click the Manage button. The settings screen changes to:

    Click "Printing preferences" and see if there is a paper tab. For my HP printer there is a custom button to manage custom paper sizes, where I can add and remove them. Excel will read this list when you have that printer selected.

      Thankyou Jan for your advice. I managed to create a new custom page, however I could not delete any old ones, because My printer did not have that option. it is a HP Designjet T120

        One way might be to delete the printer from the system and installing it anew? Not a nice solution as you would loose other custom paper sizes.
