Does nobody know how to use large paper on a samba based network printer from a Windows client? I have seen no replies and it has been 2 days. Is this too unusual for people? He wants to print family trees out on much larger paper than what one typically uses. If I don't figure this out, he is going to demand that the printer be taken off of the Linux box and put on a Windows machine. I'd prefer not to do that. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
