Generally, there are two ways to create a custom paper size form - the method depends on the printer software (and the age of the printer / software).
For example, your older printer / software "custom paper size" form setup (assuming it is supported) is likely as shown below in the first example (in Devices and Printers > Print Server Properties).
Custom Form
HP Document:
HP Printers - Creating Custom Paper Sizes
Where Located
OR
Example 1
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers >
Left-Click on your Printer one time to highlight >
Left-Click Print Server Properties (along the top ribbon)
Custom_Form_Index_Card_6x8
Example 2
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers >
Right-Click on your Printer > If necessary, select printer from drop down menu / list
Printing Preferences > tab Paper/Quality > Custom
9025_Printing_Preferences_Quality-Paper_Custom_1
Important
Depending on Printer Model / Software, changing the paper in the tray may require that the paper settings be adjusted on the printer control panel.
NOTE: If the size of the Paper Size is not in the Drop-down list, Select Custom

More about Custom settings on the printer
If the printer is on the network, you might be able to use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to set the paper size.
Example - Officejet Pro 8630 - EWS - Preferences > Paper Settings
EWS_8630_Settings_Preferences_Paper-Settings_Custom_1
Reminder: Newer printers / software define these settings in different tabs / options in EWS.
NOTE
The extent that your software can use the custom paper size form is not controlled by the printer software.
