Custom paper sizes on Canon PRO-4600

I don't know of a way to put the paper sizes in order in PP&L.

It's an excellent program, but it is annoying that it has no file management at all - which includes basic functions like being able to save files.

I was talking about the settings in the print driver (I'm printing directly from ON1 Photo Raw), but I suspect that uses the same logic as PP&L. From what I've seen, I'm guessing it's because they have the standard sizes (which you can't hide), and then the Custom sizes are grouped at the bottom. If they did an overall sort, they would be intertwined. Oh well - I can live with it.

I'm not sure if you're cutting single sheets and stacking them or are you nesting different size images on a wide piece of paper on the roll which QImage does well!

As I get more familiar with my recently purchased Canon PRO-4600, I've been doing a number of prints using custom paper sizes. It's easy enough to create them, but what I find surprising is that they appear to be sorted in the order I created them rather than alphabetically. I don't think there's a way to change the sort order, but I figured I'd ask here any see if anyone knows.

The Epson ET-8550 handles this in a nicer way. You can't change the sort order, but you *can* manually reorder items as you desire. You can do this with Favorites on the Canon, but not with custom sizes, and (as I mentioned in another post) my experience has been that favorites don't include the selected print size.

Not that I am aware of. The list is rank ordered based on when it was last used. Is there a reason that you print directly out of PR rather than using the power of PP&L?

I'm open to being convinced to use PP&L instead if there are good reasons.

Printing directly from PR means I don't need to export the photo to a TIFF and open another app to print. It's a more streamlined process. Given I'm still a newbie though on the Canon apps, I'm open to being convinced to use PP&L instead if there are good reasons.
