Re: print HTML in "B" size

I want to print a certain web page[1], which includes color and

handle 11x17 just fine, but I don't know how to convert the HTML to PS
for the printer.  Neither galeon nor mozilla allow choosing that paper
size, nor do they let me choose an arbitrary size.

What tool(s) will fit the bill here?

TIA!

Hmm... my Mozilla (1.4-4) offers a "ledger" option under the "Print" --> "Properties" menu next to the selected printer. I don't have any legal paper here to test it out, though. It does print color from web pages quite nicely on "letter" sized paper from my HP Deskjet 960C. My current software setup here is:

1. Mozilla 1.4-4
2. xprt-xprintgorg 0.0.8.cvs2003050
3. CUPS version 1.1.19 final

Dunno which of the above is needed or is the "key", but I suspect it is the first two at least. I started getting some different printer listings in the Mozilla print menu AFTER I got the xprt packages installed and working. They seem to pick up my "defined" printers in CUPS and add a "...@:64" to their names. Under the "Properties" menu I have a LOT of options on print sizes!! Much more than under CUPS alone. Dunno how it would work with other print systems.

Cheers & Good Luck!
