Printing on 3x5 cards

[Jennifer Murphy]

I have Word 2007 running on Win XP.

I have a huge HP 5000 LaserJet and a small Canon S830D photo inkjet.
Neither one handles small forms well.

I'd like to be able to define the page size (in Word) as the actual
paper size (3 x 5) so I can see a each page (card) on its own and have
it print one page on each card. If I do that, both printers print the
text in the wrong place on a standard letter-size (8.5 x 11) page.

The HP orients the text in the upper righthand corner of the letter
page, but the paper guides align in the center. If I feed a 3x5 card,
the text is all off the page. There doesn't seem to be
any way to feed a 3x5 card correctly. But even it I adjust the page
margins to force the etxt to be in the right place, the paper handling
mechanism doesn't like such a small form. Jams are frequent.

The Canon orients the text in the center bottom of a letter page, but
the guides align right. Again, if I feed a 3x5 card, the text os off the
page. There doesn't seem to be any way to feed a 3x5 card correctly. If
I adjust the margins, it works pretty well.

Any help would be much appreciated.
