Hi all,

some time ago I sent a message to this list because of problems with A6 page 
format for MFP 3330. I still could not solve this issue, but I have some 
remarks which might help solving this problem. 
 I use Ubuntu Feisty with HPLIP 1.7.3. To me it seems that the printer doesn't 
know about page sizes at all and just always prints to a sort of default page 
size, say A4. It is the task of the driver to place the document (which has 
possibly different page size than A4) on the default page size (A4). 
 
 Example:
 
 ooo = A4 page
 xxx = A6 page
 
 The user wants to print out 
 xxx
 xxx
 xxx
 
 The driver places this on a A4 page in the following way:
 ooxxxoo
   ooxxxoo
   ooxxxoo
   ooooooo
   ooooooo
   ooooooo
 
 Then the printer prints this document and because A6 page size is loaded in 
the tray, he gets the desired result
 xxx
 xxx
 xxx
 
 Is this right? To be honest I don't really know very much about printing, I 
just thought that it might be this way.
 
 The problem, which I have is that the driver places the A6 page in the 
following way:
 
 xxxoooo
  xxxoooo
  xxxoooo
  ooooooo
  ooooooo
  ooooooo
 
 And so I only get the 'last column' of the 'x' on my A6 paper, i.e. the 
printout is not complete.

 Because of this it might be a solution to manually place the A6 document on 
the A4 page in the correct way. Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
