I've just bought a NeXT Color postscript printer.  All is fine until I want
to print a large TIFF/GIF format file from ImageViewer  (a scanned color map).
I put A3 paper in the printer and select A3 from the page layout menu.  When I
preview the image it fits nicely into the A3 sheet.  However when I try printing
the picture is cropped at the A4 paper width (8 inches not 11 !) although the
length is okay.  Using the printer Test Print mode confirms that I could print
A3.

Anyone know where the problem lies ?  I'm using NeXTSTEP 3.0.

David.
