The update your system. If you find anything isn't working, you can clone back from the old drive. Carbon Copy Cloner really makes this process very simple.
When I got my new computer only a few weeks ago, all I had to do was run Apples Setup assistant, which allowed me to import all my settings and documents, and applications from a Firewire HD I had previously cloned from the old computer (which didn't support FW Target Mode). You could probably just as easily do that, by cloning, then wiping your HD and reinstalling. Make sure you have two clones, in case something goes wrong.
If you want me to try anything with the printer driver, tell me exactly what, and I will see what I can do. I am not sure at which stage the problem starts, and I don't have a super large format printer (only A3, but I am nowhere near it for some time).

Okay, so I ordered the Panther upgrade. With the ed. discount it isn't too expensive. But before loading it I'd some reassurance that it will solve my problem.
Apparently Jaguar's print driver can't recognize oversize custom page sizes. When I try to print 13x20 sheets (from Finale or via Adobe Reader from Finale), the OS apparently erroneously ratchets the size down to 11x17. Has anyone else seen this behavior before? If so, did Panther fix it?
Also, I'd like some assurances about the upgrade process itself. Will it preserve all my settings? Will I have to upgrade any utilities like TinkerTool? Does it touch my Classic folder(s)?
The scariest part about upgrading is there is no going back, short of a complete hard disk restore. Gah!
