RE: [LegacyUG] Report Sizing
Mike, That is correct. As has previously mentioned you need to install printer drivers on your PC which will allow the size you wish to print. I know one previous post suggested asking your printer what printer they use and getting that. I chose to install a CAD driver on the basis that that was bound to be big enough - and it is. It's called WinLine Raster Plotter (HPRTL/GL2), although I don't expect the exact model makes much diffence. Once the driver is installed you have the option to select that driver to govern the size of your print.
