Some time ago, I trashed my database program, McMax,
because it couldn't control the form length when I
was printing labels. I did find a workaround, however.

Now I'm trying to print nametags, one at a time, on
continuous feed stock in ImageWriters and ImageWriter
LQs.  However, I find that none of the software I have
seems to be able to set the form length either. The
only choices for paper size are about six standard
selections, none of which is right for my stock, which
is 2.5 inches long and 4 inches wide. The company I
bought the stock from sells software for $300 to print
nametags (though I don't know how it would do with them
one at a time--I want to do it that way so there is
minimum waiting while I make nametags for new registrants
at a conference).

Does anyone know of Macintosh software which allows the
user to set a custom form-length (and width)? It would
also be nice to be able to include simple graphics, but
the page-size setting is primary. PageMaker allows you
to select a custom page size, but it has no effect on
the printer form length. I've also tried SuperPaint and
MacDraw. Presumably what I need is a program with a custom
printer driver which is configued to set the printer's
form length--all these printers have such commands built
in, but none of the standard drivers appear to make them
available to the user.

I need a quick answer since I need to produce lots of nametags
one at a time at a conference next week. Please send any
response to me via Email since I am caught up in conference
preparations and don't have time to scan comp.sys.mac.

Thanks,
