how do i print landscape to 8.5 X 22 inch paper Pagepoints 17.07.2006 01:31:01 I am printing a sign that needs to be 5" X 22" In Word 2003 I defined a custom size and typed the sign. I put two unseparated sheets of pinfeed paper ( without the pin area) in the manual feed tray, selected landscape, no dual sided on the printer (HP 8500 Mopier) The result is only the second half of the document, printed in the direction I want on the second half of the 22" wide paper.

Re: how do i print landscape to 8.5 X 22 inch paper Pagepoints 18.07.2006 01:43:01 Thank you for the reply. The printer Manual feed tray takes any lenth you care to feed it. In further experimentation I selected Layout = landscape, Paper size = 11.7X17, Scale to paper size = 11.7X17.7. It works but it is a bit hokey. Perhaps you have a more elegant solution? "Suzanne S.

Re: how do i print landscape to 8.5 X 22 inch paper poster_printer[ at ]yahoo.com 20.07.2006 04:17:31 There is free software (GPL, open source) that will allow you to create a poster or sign by printing it to multiple pages of output. It will automatically deal with splitting an image between multiple pages for you, and will take into account a printer's ability to print to the entire page surface vertically (i.e. pin-feed or tractor feed), although you have to set up your printer's configuration options to reflect this ability. The main web site, with screen shots to really show you what it can do, is http://posterprinter.sourceforge.net/ If you want to download it right away, the download page at SourceForge is https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=172256 The fail-safe "Directory" web site is http://www.geocities.com/poster_printer Pagepoints wrote: [Quoted Text] > Thank you for the reply. > > The printer Manual feed tray takes any lenth you care to feed it.
