In LaserWriter Page Setup, Tabloid (which is 11x17) is one of the
choices for paper size.  Has anyone ever actually printed to 11x17
paper?  I realize you can't do it with a LaserWriter, but we have an
Imagen 3320 directly connected to the EtherNet that we use as an 
alternate printer using the lwsrv utility of CAP 5.0.  The Imagen has
a number of different paper trays, including 11x17.  The problem is that
the postscript commands sent to the Imagen do not cause selection of the
correct paper tray.  The document prints on an 8 1/2x11, but it prints
as if it thinks it's printing on 11x17 (i.e., certain part of the top
and right edges are cut off).

We have discussed this matter with Imagen and Cayman Systems (who makes
the GatorBox and supports CAP) and they have never used the software for
this.  We are fairly convinced that it can be done, however.  We think
there is a missing link.  Can any of you help?  Are any of you using CAP
for print serving?

Please post, e-mail or phone collect.  Thanks.

-Doug
