- Okay,
-
- I went into Global/Printer Preferences and set it for 8.5 x 14.
-
- 1) When using Faust's driver, I get bizarre results: the page prints down to
- 11 inches, ejects, and then the printer keeps making paper feeding noises (but
- doesn't feed any paper) and I can't get it to *stop* unless I shut the printer
- off!
-
- 2) I went back to the Softlogik BJ-10e driver; it prints down to 11 inches,
- ejects, and then prints the rest on a second page.
-
- Any more ideas? Do I need to save the page size as default in Printer
- Preferences or something to get it to work? Please help: this is a project
- for work and I'm under a deadline!!!
