[comp.sys.next] Printing wierd sized docs on a NeXTPrinter??

        The local Museum has bought a couple of NeXTs for everything 
from cataloguing to secretarial use.  One of the things that they want
to do, is print out mailing labels. 
 
BUT, this seems to be a tiny problem under WriteNow. 
 
In WriteNow, they've defined the page size as 6"x24", and 
have got the page all neatly typed up with the names and addresses all 
in the right places, so that hypothetically, when a 24" sheet of 
mailing labels is fed through, it'll print in all the right places. 
 
HOWEVER, after around 14" of paper have fed through, we get a 
paper-jammed error message. 
 
DOES anyone out there know if there is a limitation on the size of 
a sheet that can be fed through a NeXTPrinter?? 
 
Thanx
