Are you on Windows?  If so you need to tell the operating system that
"octavo" is a new form.  To do this go to:

Settings / Control Panel / Printers

>From this dialog box go to the File menu and select "Server Properties"

On that dialog check the box that says "Create a new Form"

At that point create your "octavo" form with the sizing you want and save it
with the name "octavo".

Now the operating system and your printer drivers can play nice and both
understand this new form.
