Maybe this is a bug, but that’s off topic. Unfortunately, even though you can add another frame for the text inside this frame (for vertical centering), the vertical centering of that inner frame must be done manually. I added a 3x5 frame to it positioned to the left edge and centered vertically. I eventually gave up and used the A6 size (pretty close to 3x5 and prints down the middle of the paper path). (Remember everything is in landscape mode, so the print area in the lower right corner of the page is as if that 3x5 card were down there in the lower left corner of the page.) Thus, if you feed a 3x5 card, the print misses the card completely. Note that none of the printer definitions seem to take this into account they just describe measurements of the page and print areas within.įor envelopes, this works fine, since something in LO tells the printer to print down the middle of the paper path to match up with where the paper is.īut my 3x5 page prints in the bottom left of a letter-sized sheet fed through as a test. With this printer, you have to slide some guides to the center of the manual feed tray so that the card (or envelope) goes down the middle of the paper path. I did this by copying the A6 definition and adjusting the sizes slightly for 3x5. I created a 3x5 paper size in my printer definition (.ppd) and that successfully shows up now as a legal paper size.

They go through the printer ok if fed in narrow edge first.

I would like to print directly to 3x5 index cards.
