Can't print larger than Tabloid (11x17)

I can't print images bigger than 11x17 - or more precisely, i can only print on media up to but not including 12x18(ARCH B). No poster sizes, custom or preset sizes. for instance, when i try to create a 24x36 (ARCH D) poster, and print it from photoshop, the print dialogue resizes the media to 8.5x11. Anything ARCH B (12x18) or larger, and photoshop defaults to 8.5x11. 11.5x17.5? Sure. 12x18? hold on there, fella.

What gives?

Did you set the paper size in the printer setting correctly? What printer do you have it can it handle that size paper?

Here I set up for a 12" x 35" print

If the Printer supports that size paper. see if there is an newer device driver for it on HP web site. My printer can only handle 17" wide roll paper I can set up payer to something like 50 feet long. Rolls can be 100 feet but the diver limits you to something like a 50 foot print. After you set the paper size the print driver should set it and Photoshop should see this and change the it preview size. The driver may not set exactly what you set there may be son restrictions like small border are unprinable but what thhe printer softwasr sets should be close to what you specified..

When I reset my printer driver it does set the paper to 8.5x11. I fine sometimes need to do that first so the setting I later set get set correctly.
