Printing D size (22x34) Prints / Posters

I am making the jump from 2007 Microsoft Office to 2010.  I get request to print Poster size (22x34) prints on a large scale plotter.  This was never a problem when printing in Microsoft 2007, I could always select my Paper size, and it would work fine.  Now using 2010, I am having difficulties.   I use to:

Go to print, select my printer that i wanted to use (HP Designjet T1100) then i would select properties, and the paper/quality tab and select the size that i wanted (D size) , click the features tab, Print document on D... Now its no longer like that.

I guess essentially what im looking for is a "Print to paper size" option. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Word has a firm 22" x 22" limit on paper size (you'll find an explanation for this by Jay Freedman elsewhere in this forum--it has to do with measurement in "twips"). So you can't--even using Scale to Paper Size, I think--print to a larger size through Word. What you may be able to do is find a setting in your printer Properties that allows you to scale the output to the Poster size. It sounds like you're saying even this no longer works, however.

Alternatively, if you can create the document in PowerPoint, Publisher, or Excel, all of them can print to larger paper sizes.
