Forms, Driver Defined Paper Size

NTDEV
1

I am facing this problem Windows2000

Problem Description:

I am building the driver for printer.And I am creating some Driver Defined
Paper sizes.For example
Paper Name – AAA
X Size – 1000
Y Size – 1000
After building the printer & on installing the printer driver i can see
the Paper Name – AAA in the Device Settings(Printer Propertes).(Form to
Tray Assignment)
Now i will uninstall the printer driver & all the related files is deleted
from the system.
Now if i modify the driver for the same
Paper Name – AAA
with different X Size For Ex: X Size 1200 & Y Size with the same value
& on installing the printer driver this Paper Name – AAA is not listed in
the Device Settings.
But before installing the modified driver & on removing this Form from the
registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control|Print\Forms),restarting
the system & then on installing the modified driver, Paper Name – AAA
appears in the Device Settings.

what could be the problem ?
Is it that once the form is added, it is not modifiable.
Should it be deleted from the registry before it is added again.
How to come across this problem ?

thanks

After deleting the driver, you need to delete the form by going to
Server Properties and the Forms tab. This will ensure that the 2 forms
don’t clash due to their names.
