Re: printing very large sheets



Sorry it's taken so long to respond. 

As far as I can tell the printer is "stuck" thinking that an old page size
I tried to create is the default page size for all pages. I can't figure
out where this is set though.

When I open the file in gs, it's displaying, but only in the bottom 1/10th
of the display of the first page. Somewhere the extra long page that I was
trying to get working has stuck.

> gs -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=864 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=3168 -dFIXEDMEDIA  yourfile.ps

**************** note************
deskjet 5550 is for my *other* ink jet printer. It should be using 9600 as
the ppd. But I don't understand where it's getting that information from.
