I have been using emTeX on my PC clone and Panasonic KXP-1124 printer with very good results. I recently tried printing on fan-fold 6x4 inch post cards and ran into a problem. Dvibit uses a form feed to go to the next page, so the Panasonic moves to the next 11 inch increment. I tried downloading a file to the printer to set the forms length to 4 inches, but apparently dvibit resets the printer before sending the image down to it. My 4 inch paper settings worked until I tried to print a dvi file and then the printer reset to 11 inches. I eventually set the printer to 8 inch forms on the front panel and printed every second card, then ran the paper through a second time to print the cards in between. Not a neat solution. Any suggestions on how to convince dvibit to use 4 inch paper would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
