Hello, I'm trying to print a very large sheet of paper (44"x12"). The printer (HP9650) is fine with standard sheet sizes, but I can't figure out how to make it print very large sheets of paper. This is what I've tried: CUPs: - set the default paper size to "custom" OpenOffice.org: - resizes the sheet to a "standard" paper size, even if a custom page size is used. Apparently this is due to a bug in Java 1.3.1? psresize - from OOo create a ps file and then resize using psresize. Generates the following error: D [29/Mar/2005:01:35:37 -0500] [Job 125] ----------- D [29/Mar/2005:01:35:37 -0500] [Job 125] New page: 2 2 D [29/Mar/2005:01:35:37 -0500] [Job 125] Inserting option code into "PageSetup" section.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know the printer *can* do paper this large, I'm just not sure how...I am willing to try software other than OOo, but it needs to be stable. I'm writing applications and can't have the stress of the software crashing every X number of minutes because I dragged and dropped too quickly. thanks, emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin Guild of Accessible Web Designers :: www.gawds.org consulting: www.xtrinsic.com
