Plotting paper size

I'm having trouble plotting the right size paper for my drawing. The plotter paper I have is 24 inches wide. I'm trying to plot a 22 inch x 17 inch drawing. However, it's only letting me do a 17inch x 22 inch drawing. It's plotting the drawing but I hate to waste so much paper. I've tried to customize my paper size but all of my options are grayed out for some reason.

Which plotter is that? And which driver?
Most plotter drivers have an auto-rotate feature, does yours? Do you have that turned on?
I don't see a screenshot of your PLOT command showing what you sent to the plotter, can you do that now?

 

Did you by chance also notice what you typed here? You want
22x17 (wxh I assume) but it appears you set your sheet size to be
17x22 (wxh I assume) maybe?

Did you set your output in AutoCAD to give you what you got and not what you wanted by chance?

HP Designjet T770. I have no clue what the driver would be. How do I find out?

PLOT command you used in AutoCAD has it selected here, What did you choose?
