- I'm not a LINO Guru, but check 2 things. 1) make sure you set up your PAPER
- SIZE correctly in the Configure Printer requester (NOT the PageStream document
- itself). Second, make sure that your service bureau can actually print 17x11
- sized documents (some of them actually have a bit smaller limitation).
-
- I will e-mail you a later version of the PostScript driver, but that will
- likely not make a difference.
