I need to change the page setup to an unusual size for label printing

Hello. I'm trying to print a label that is 2" wide x 1-1/2 high. Firefox defaults to 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 page size and I've been unable to figure out how to change the default size to 2" x 1-1/2".

I've cleared all the margins to zero and removed all header and footer information. But how do I change the size to 2" wide x 1-1/2" high?

When I print, it will print the label correctly. However, it spits out 11" of labels instead of stopping at 1-1/2"

The printer is set up to accept the size (it's a Zebra label printer), but Firefox appears to be sending a page size that is different.

Any help here would be most appreciated.

Thank you

1. Did that Zebra label printer come with drivers? And are they installed?

2. When you initiate printing in Firefox using {Ctrl + P}, is that label printer available in the Printer - Name dropdown with your other printers?

3. Once you have that Zebra label printer selected, hit the Properties... button next to the Printer - Name box. Set the Paper Size there.

Setting are retained separately in Firefox for each printer you use in Firefox. Each printer has to be selected separately when setting up the preferences thru the Properties button in that "native print dialog" box.

Thanks for your answer. Instead of formatting through FireFox, I had to go in and format it via the printer. Duh! Feel stupid not doing this first. If any one else has this problem, I was able to set it up on the printer by going to Printers > Printer Properties > Printer Preferences and set it up. Good luck and thank you for your reply.
