Call in the St. Bernards, I found it. With the pdf loaded into evince I
was able to set "current page" in its printer dialog, then it called the
system gizmo, and on the 2nd tab was a paper selection pulldown that had
the 11x17 selection available. And darned if it didn't work! Biggest
problem was getting the paper started straight enough. Very poor and
downright flimsy guidance hardware for the rear big sheet/odd size input
port.
Job done and now I know how. ;-)
