I followed Walters other post with more explanation and it worked. I had a power failure due to weather and when I restarted custom sizes was not available. I followed the same instructions, leaving Terminal app open and restarted (the same way I did the first time when it worked). Now custom sizes again is not available. By the way the printer was on. I did it again with the printer off & closed the Terminal app, then restarted. Again, custom sizes are not available. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Not sure why, but if you don't have any wicked important stuff launching from that folder than it will speed up your computer to clear it out anyway. Hopefully the 10.6.6 update will clear all this up.) > >> > >> I am now running Cups 1.4.5 and OS X 10.6.5 and printing with custom paper sizes out of QTR again. So this must be some default permission thing that the 10.6.5 upgrade implemented in its own upgrade of cups 1.4.5 in order to keep LaunchAgents from screwing up. > >> > >> all the best, > >> Walker > >> > > > > > > Walker Blackwell > 802.821.4451 > www.walkerblackwell.com > aim: greendirtblues > wblackwell@... > > > www.joelconison.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
