HELLO!
I recently purchased a Toshiba laptop for my shop. It came installed with WIN 8.1 (which I HATE)! I installed CDX5 because I have grown quite fond of it. I installed all the latest drivers for my EPSON 7510 printer, however when I attempt to print 11x17 images that selection is not available under the printer settings. This is very odd because I was able to choose 11x17 paper source on my previous laptop (Gateway). I have also updated CDX5 to service pack 3. What am I missing? Am I doing something wrong??
Are you sure you got the proper drivers for the system and bit you are running? Did you check to see if you need to update your printer "utilities"?Sounds like a printer thing.
I would start by going to control panel > devices and printers (though it might be called something different in win 8), right clicking on your printer and going to printer properties.
Can you see 11x17 among the page sizes there? If windows doesn't have it, then CorelDraw will not know that the size is available either and you will probably need to ask HP for instructions.
I dunno. Ever since Microsoft switched to Win8 i cant find anything!
Found the devices and printer, but when i goto the properties of my EPSON 7510 i cannot find the paper size at all! I mean 11x17 isnt listed either.
And on top of that when I goto "Acquire Image" neither of my printers/scanners are even available to be chosen!!
According to http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=183584&infoType=Downloads which I assume is your printer, the latest driver (and the only driver that is actually stated to be compatible with windows 8.x) is v1.23. Is that the driver that you have? If not, then perhaps installing it will add the missing page size.
Acquire image may be a different problem. From what I remember, the scanner needs a WIA driver to work with 64 bit programs. If you only have a twain driver, you need the 32 bit version of CorelDraw. And X5 is only officially compatible with windows up to win 7. I think people have made it work in win 8.x using compatibility mode, but its not necessarily compatible with everything.
