Bob,
Just out of curiosity, I have yet to use a particular paper size to
match my printer's actual paper size. Example, I keep 8.5x11 in the
printer, if I want a smaller print, or more parts on a page, I will just use
11x17 in Protel, it will shrink, or stretch to fit the page.
1. To fix the paper size in protel's schematic, I do use a pre-fab
document template.
2. To set the paper size & scale in Protel's "Print Document", you need
to change both Window's Printer system defaults & the printer's Document
defaults. Dont ask me why, but, Protel seems to always go to these settings
when creating new schematics which you want to printout.
Note that re-installing printer drivers, a major crash during printing,
attaching a new printer to your PC which Windows get's a glimps of, or, even
installing a print to Adobe Acrobat Reader generator resets these settings &
messes everything up.

Bob,
I have seen these comments many times previously, both about P99SE and DXP,
you don't mention which but I believe you are one of the stalwart P99SE
users. However I don't understand the problem because I have never seen it.
I have never had P99SE default to a European paper size, only one of the
three sizes we use, Letter, 11 x 17 or Tabloid (our Adobewriter doesn't use
11x17). Sorry can't help since I don't have a clue what may cause it since I
have just never see it happen.
Kind of makes me wonder if it would be a printer driver/Protel issue and not
'simply' a Protel issue.

Subject: [PEDA] Default paper size
Is there a way to permanently disable all UK paper types - A1, A4 etc. ?
It seems that every time I turn around, the $%&* system reverts to one of
these sizes and confuses the printer.
The only sizes I ever use are A (8 1/2 X 11) and B (11 X 17). Every time I
upgrade or install a new service pack (currently 2004 SP3)I go through this
exercise, and there is just enough time between upgrades that I forget how
to do it.
Anybody?
