Printer Server Problem

When working in the "Printers and Faxes" program, I need to create a new
form definition for my dot matrix printer. I Select "Server Properties"
from the file menu and add a new form on the "Forms" tab with a 7" form
height. When I go to the "Printing Prferences" and "Advanced" button on my
dot matrix printer driver, I expect to be able to select my new form from
the "Paper Size" list under "Paper/Output". However, the selections in that
list are very limited and my new form does not appear.

Why?

Anybody?

the new form must fit into the CUSTOM SIZE defined in the device GPD

the GPD is located in \windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
