Apple IINT LaserWriter
I have a PostScript file I wish to print out on this laser printer. It
is a 8.5x14 document. When looking at the PostScript file, after going
through all of the declarations which DO include the Legal definition, I
find:
%%Page: "1" 1
%%BeginPaperSize: Legal
%%EndPaperSize
Which I assume it's telling the printer that I am going to print in the
'Legal' size defined as (there are other def's, just including what I
needed):
/setpapername {
/papersizedict 14 dict def
papersizedict begin
/papername /unknown def
/Legal 8.5 inch 14.0 inch pagedimen
end
} def
/papersize {
papersizedict begin
/Letter {lettertray} def
/LetterSmall {lettertray lettersmall} def
/Tabloid {11x17tray} def

======================================
OK, I have the LTR tray in (8.5x11), but is has a manual feed on top for
8.5x14 . . . it says so right on the manual feed. I place the 8.5x14
paper in and it is then printed . . . FOR ONLY 11 INCHES!!
Yes, 11 of the 14 inches are printed. HOW in the world do I get the
darn Apple IINT to recognize that I have 8.5x14 paper????????????
I do NOT subscribe to this newsgroup, so could you PLEASE send your
replies directly to me?
Thank you . . .
