[Dx4win] Printing Direct To QSL

OK, I used to know how to do this but have obviously forgotten.

Using Version 9

I am setting up (trying to that is) to print directly to one of my 
pre-printed QSLs. The card is 5.5W x 3.5H. The info needs to print in 
the top right corner, starting at 2.81 from the left and the size of the 
printing window is 2.69 x 1.69 inches.

I have created a custom label (Custom1) with label width and height set 
as above. Spacing left is 2.81 and spacing top is .16. Nr Across and 
Down is 1. I have set a custom paper size of 5.5 x 3.5 and that seems to 
be the issue. When I click Ok, I get a "Not able to set Custom Paper 
Size" message. In 'Preview', I get a graphic of the label in the correct 
position but the page size is 8.5 x 11.

Just found out that it does not like 4 x 6 but accepts 5 x 7.

Am I missing something or is what I'm trying to do just plain illegal?

Thanks,
Mike / W8DN
