weird paper size
I am having trouble convincing our printer to print correctly to the paper size
that is called Oficio in Guatemala. It is 8.5 x 13, an inch less then the legal
paper used in other parts of the world.
We are on Debian Woody, using Cups to print to a Lexmark E312 Postscript printer
via a 3 port HP Jetdirect external print server. Printing to regular Letter size
paper works fine, but when we tell the program to print to Oficio, the top of
the print job gets cut off. It looks like something in the system has locked the
end of the printable area to letter size, and tries to print anything outside of
that above the top of the page.
Is this a problem with the ppd file I am using, or something else in Cups? I
think it is something else, because I did try printing from OpenOffice, which, I
believe, uses it's own printing system, and it printed correctly.
