Hi --
	Ignore the affiliation -- this is on a NeXT running 3.0 OS / 3.0 Frame.
How can I get output, either in Postscript or tiled on the printer -- on an
11 x 17 document?

	Similarly, are there any service bureaus which will Lino NeXT Frame
documents for me, or do I need to put them in Interchange format? (The problem
is that the file is big enough as to not fit on a disk without compression and
such.)

	When I try to print my 11 x 17 document, no matter which printer I select,
it says it'll only print a portion of the image of each page because the paper's
too small. Even if I try to save the Postscript, it only saves the center 8.5 x 11
inches of the page image! Yike! I have this beautiful document, but no
way to output save to group the whole thing and shrink it by hand and then
blow it up again... sigh.

Any hints appreciated --
Thanks!

I have a similar question.

In Page Maker, you can change the physical page's origin by dragging the
corner of the 'frame' (rulers) to wherever you want.  That allows us,
for example, to print a 11x17 page as two 8.5x11 pages in landscape mode.
However, I haven't found (in manuals and FAQ) any way that would let me
do this in Frame Maker.

any help is appreciated
