How to force a printer to use legal size paper.

Oracle Reports has had a problem since the earliest versions. It doesn't handle different paper sizes well. We have a report
written in the 2.5 version of reports. If you specify LEGAL in the page setup, everything prints great. If you call the report
from a form it always prints using the default papersize for the printer. Selecting a paper tray is not an option because the
printer in question has only one tray bay and if it requests legal, you have to put a different tray in (HP4V). I put in a tar about
it and the response was setup a special PRT file to handle legal. The problem is that the PRT and the before and after printer
codes are only used it you have a character report. If you have a bitmapped report they are ignored (not oracles finest moment).
Does anyone have any ideas of functions that can help (are you listening Duncan Mills?)

I found a methoid that while clumsy, works. I have defined another printer on my windows machine that points to the same
printer as my original printer defination. I have named this printer "Legal" and has defined legal paper as it's default. When
I print to this printer( DECTYPE, DECNAME) it now defaults to legal.

MX 925 - how to force the printer to use paper from lower tray

Hi' there,
Several people seems to have the problem, that the printer "wants" to print from the upper tray, - I assume it's because it want's photo paper. Is it possible to FORCE the printer to use paper from the lower tray, when e.g. you have no photo paper, receive the error message, and just want to see the print?

How to print onto a legal size paper

I'm trying to print a document sent to me as an original PDF 8.5 x 16 document onto a legal size page (8.5 x 14). I don't have the advanced skills necessary to print in Adobe beyond the basics, and don't have the time to take a course or read the confusing help instructions (e.g., "tiling", "scaling"). I'm hoping someone on this board can simply tell me how to print this document step-by-step. I have Windows XP with Acrobat Pro 9.0
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Using AA9, these are the steps I just used to create a 8.5X14 page from another PDF (Note: any bookmarks and links will be lost and would have to be replaced):
1. Opened the PDF in Acrobat.
2. Select FILE>Print
3. Select the Adobe PDF printer.
4. Select printer properties.
5. On Adobe PDF Settings tab, you may select the press (Press Quality) or print (High Quality Print) job options.
6. On either of the other tabs select the Advanced button.
7. Under Paper/Output>Paper Size, select Legal.
8. OK back to the print menu and select Page Scaling=>Fit to Printable Area.
9. OK to print -- select the file name and location, hopefully with successful results. (I checked the PDF I created from a Letter size and it was 8.5X14)

I am trying to print a PDF file to a legal size paper and I would like for it to fill up the page. How do I do this? I went into the settings and changed it from letter to legal, but it's still printing out the same size. Can someone help me, please?

"legal" size stock wil print on one side only......(There's gotta be a four letter word to cover this situation!)
Pray tell, how did I screw this one up?????

Printing on legal size paper

I have an hp psc1210 and I can print on legal size paper from my desktop, but when I am on my laptop that is on the network, I can't print on legal size paper. If I am using word perfect, the software automatically adjusts the bottom margin to 3.48" so that only what is visable on a letter size page is printed and in word it cuts off any characters below the letter size area. Any suggestions for solving this problem?

hi there,
It seems that you have a software incompatibility between your word perfect and the psc,pls. try these steps:
add a universal driver on your computer
=open printers and faxes or printers
=click add a printer
=select add a local printer
=if your printer is connected via usb cable on your desktop, pls select on use existing ports and choose usb virtual port xxx
=if your desktop is connected via ethernet cable,pls.select create a new port and choose standard tcp/ip port and click next
(for network connection only: if it will ask to enter your ip address pls. print the ip address from your printer and enter it on the computer) and click next
=if it will ask for the manufacturer, pls. select hp on the left
=on the right side find hp deskjet 990c and click next
=use existing driver
=set as default printer
=you can rename the printer to psc 1210
=try printing again
if the issue still not resolved,uninstall and reinstall the printer software
pls. reply for further assistance

Laserwriter IIf, Tiger, legal size paper printing problem

I have a Laserwriter IIf and use manual feed to print on legal size paper. Since I upgraded to Tiger I am unable to properly print on legal size paper using either Word or PDF files. The top 3 inches or so of the document are missing. I have another computer on the network using OS 10.1.5 and legal size documents print correctly from it. I have tried both of the Laserwriter IIf drivers (v2010.130 and v2010.113). I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. And also, can anyone tell me the difference in the two drivers??
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.2)

(v2010.130 and v2010.113)
Those are the two versions of the PostScript ROMs that were shipped in LaserWriter IIf and IIg printers. The vast majority were the .113 version. If you "configure automatically" in printer set up, it will go ask the printer which one it has, and configure the driver correctly. The differences are fairly subtle in normal use.
On the letter/legal problem:
It may be that your new Mac OS is not saving (or not correctly interpreting) the page setup stored with your documents. If that were the case, re-selecting the paper size you want in Page Setup or the print dialog box should rectify the situation.

Photoshop can't print legal-size image to legal-size paper

I go through a lot of sketch stages to get to a final picture, and I sometimes print on legal paper. My Brother printer does fine at that with Apple Pages, MSWord, Acrobat, and Illustrator, but with Photoshop there's a problem. I set up a legal-size image in PS, go through all the settings I can find for printing to a non-letter-format sheet, hit print, and what I get is a letter-size patch of image on a legal-size sheet. Clearly, either I am missing something or PS is missing something. Any ideas or suggestions?

The problem persists. This has gone on for months, but now I've updated to OSX 10.9.1 and the latest Brother printer drivers. I still get legal sheets bearing letter-sized information. So far, the only answer anyone has had is to check every possible place where the paper size is defined. Right. How many of those are there? 2? 3? 4? See attached screen grab: I don't know what it's doing there, but the black patch at the bottom of the image corresponds to the cutoff area on the print. It shows up when I check the box "Print selected area". Otherwise, all the sizes and labels i can find are legal-paper sizes and labels. So how do I get rid of the black box? Note that, below, the "Print selected area" box is unchecked

I want to make 4x6 study notecard/flashcards, how do I change the page size to fit the cards I need, I want them to print on a standard size paper, but keep the text in a 4x6 margin, new to mac please help!!

The Idea is to set my paper size and page layout to a pre-screened 4x6 layout, which I can add and insert txt/pictures, when I need to print, I should be able to fit 2 per page, if not that's okay, but when I print them I will cut off the excess paper and glue the rest to a notecard, any ideas, NEW TO MAC PAgES

Star with:
Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > Sidebar > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas
If you need to have two cards on one page then just set up one using text boxes and images to the 4 x 6 (inches?), group them and option shift drag a second copy down the page so you then have 2 and alter the copy as you need.
Change the text and images to placeholders, capture those as a Layout and then save that as a template.

1. To make the individual card follow the instructions for Labels & Business cards but use your size:
2. To make the placeholders see Double folded Greeting Card.
3. To make the template follow Letterhead and follower sets ignoring the irrelevant bits, and only capturing one page, before saving as a template.

How do I stop printing at 4X actual size?

I have 2 identical i-Macs and a sudden problem has come up. Both are connected to a laser printer vis ethernet. I-Mac #2 has suddenly started printing at 4X normal size. I-Mac #1 prints normally. Both workstations are also connected to a shared USB ink jet printer and both print normally to this printer. Can any one help me?
Thanks, Skiman

OCG, I was thinking of AJ, it certainly wouldn't hurt, I'd try it myself in this situation, but I don't hold a lot of hope for it working.
Get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
