Hmm... I don't think my particular problem is with the Windows Drivers. It only happens in Protel. There has to be a global default setting somewhere, but I have yet to find it. I set my templates up as "B" size explicitly and whenever I turn my back the dammed Aussie POS defaults back to A4 or something equally unpleasant.

Example, I keep 8.5x11 in the printer, if I want a smaller print, or more parts on a page, I will just use 11x17 in Protel, it will shrink, or stretch to fit the page. 1. To fix the paper size in protel's schematic, I do use a pre-fab document template. 2. To set the paper size & scale in Protel's "Print Document", you need to change both Window's Printer system defaults & the printer's Document defaults. Dont ask me why, but, Protel seems to always go to these settings when creating new schematics which you want to printout. Note that re-installing printer drivers, a major crash during printing, attaching a new printer to your PC which Windows get's a glimps of, or, even installing a print to Adobe Acrobat Reader generator resets these settings & messes everything up. _________ Brian G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Velander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 12:46 PM Subject: RE: [PEDA] Default paper size Bob, I have seen these comments many times previously, both about P99SE and DXP, you don't mention which but I believe you are one of the stalwart P99SE users. However I don't understand the problem because I have never seen it. I have never had P99SE default to a European paper size, only one of the three sizes we use, Letter, 11 x 17 or Tabloid (our Adobewriter doesn't use 11x17). Sorry can't help since I don't have a clue what may cause it since I have just never see it happen. Kind of makes me wonder if it would be a printer driver/Protel issue and not 'simply' a Protel issue.

It seems that every time I turn around, the $%&* system reverts to one of these sizes and confuses the printer. The only sizes I ever use are A (8 1/2 X 11) and B (11 X 17). Every time I upgrade or install a new service pack (currently 2004 SP3)I go through this exercise, and there is just enough time between upgrades that I forget how to do it. Anybody?
