Its a Brother MFC-J6920DW. So having a rockhopper output file that has been exported as a pdf by inkscape, I ordered up a ream of 11x17 28lb paper from wallies. But I'll be switched if I can find a setting anyplace that will make it use a sheet of it fed thru the rear slot/door. Anybody here got the magic incantation to keep it from shrinking the image to unusability on the paper in the two front trays? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett
Slightly OT: Do you have an 11 x 17 scanner? If wo, what kind? --doug
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. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett
