	Xerox WorkCentre M118: Missing A3 paper size by Jakob Unterwurzacher-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello! We have a Xerox WorkCentre M118, capable of printing via PCL6 and PostScript. While PostScript printing (vendor ppd) crashes the printer more often than not, the Gutenprint driver does not have this issue, so we use Gutenprint. The only downside: The paper size options are very sparse in the Gutenprint driver. Compare this http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/9117/m118gutenprint.png to this (vendor ppd) http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3828/m118xeroxppd.png While i don't care much about the Japanese Postcard format, I really need the A3 paper size. What to do? Is it a bad idea to copy the papersize definition lines from the vendor ppd to the Gutenprint one? Could i use the vendor ppd with Gutenprint's PCL rasterizer by copying the cupsFilter line there? Thank you for any suggestions!

The PPDs for the Gutenprint printers are generally reflective of what the driver can do. In other words, just adding a paper entry for A3 will not enlarge the printing area. I would suggest that you try the Generic PCL 6/PCL XL LF Printer driver. This large format driver will support A3 paper size. -- Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

The PPDs for the Gutenprint printers are generally reflective of what the driver can do. In other words, just adding a paper entry for A3 will not enlarge the printing area. I would suggest that you try the Generic PCL 6/PCL XL LF Printer driver. This large format driver will support A3 paper size. It would be useful to determine which of the laser printers we list support A3/tabloid size and reclassify them.
