------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Oct 27 11:27:06 +0000 2010 ------- Ah OK! I did a cross check and it is not the same: I defined (in OOo) a Page with 210mm width and 50 mm length and printed on my canon. In this case in the printer dialog appears a "user defined" form and it works well. After each Page a "Form Feed" appears. And there the problem seems to be! OOo overwrites the printer settings. The "form feed" is not generated by OOo but by the printer. This is not good! With my Nec I use a form which is physically 12 Inch(304.8 mm) long. When OOo tells the printer the form size was 297 mm, this can not match. With a single sheet feeder you probably won't realise this difference, but with fanfold this positioning error adds. You should distinguish between a physical "form" (12 inch, defined in printer settings) and a logical "page" (A4, defined in OOo). These two settings do not need to be the same! The Solution would be: OOo leaves the printer settings unchanged. OOo prints to the end of the "page" and performs a "form feed". The printer will understand this "form feed" and will transport the paper to the beginning of the next "form". The other way: My OOo (German localisation) does not know anything about a 12 inch "page" (format - page) although defined in print-SERVER-setting (not printer settings). But alas, this is not really the main problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
