In LaserWriter Page Setup, Tabloid (which is 11x17) is one of the choices for paper size. Has anyone ever actually printed to 11x17 paper? I realize you can't do it with a LaserWriter, but we have an Imagen 3320 directly connected to the EtherNet that we use as an alternate printer using the lwsrv utility of CAP 5.0. The Imagen has a number of different paper trays, including 11x17. The problem is that the postscript commands sent to the Imagen do not cause selection of the correct paper tray. The document prints on an 8 1/2x11, but it prints as if it thinks it's printing on 11x17 (i.e., certain part of the top and right edges are cut off). We have discussed this matter with Imagen and Cayman Systems (who makes the GatorBox and supports CAP) and they have never used the software for this. We are fairly convinced that it can be done, however. We think there is a missing link. Can any of you help? Are any of you using CAP for print serving? Please post, e-mail or phone collect. Thanks. -Doug -- ========================================================================== Douglas J.

I realize you can't do it with a LaserWriter, but we have an We have just finished working with the QMS PS2200B printer. This little monster is 2 bin (both 11x17) and fast (>20ppm) over localtalk. We had it in for evaluation on our student Mac+ lab and it printed 6692 pages in just a shade over 50 hours of use. It replaced 2 LW IInt's and kept up. We tested the 11x17 ability outside of the lab and found it to be just great. ...bill van beek ...assistant director, krannert computer center ...krannert school of management, purdue university ...wvanbeek@midas.mgmt.purdue.edu
