I hacked the definition in yesterday, and it *almost* works. I'm rather baffled since the gimp preview shows what looks like a correct page and image size, but then the printer stretches it way out vertically, and gets the horizontal correct. -- --- | Alan K.

Canon S900 printer (again)
I'm really beginning to get irritated at Canon's total lack of support for anyone not toeing the Microsoft line. I have some Kodak print paper that is not defined in the printer ppd file I got from Turboprint. So I sent a request to Canon for the ppd file for their printer. And here is the reply... > Dear Alan Jackson, > > Thank you for writing to us. > > Unfortunately, we do not have a copy of the .ppd file for the S900. We > only have access to the files for the printer after they are extracted > in Windows or Mac. I'm sorry. Jerks. I'm getting very close to returning it for an HP. It's a shame. I think it's a very nice printer, and it has some nice features, but I'm not sure I can live with the aggravation. Would anyone out there have a Canon S900 PPD file that contains Kodak Ultima paper definitions? Of course Kodak is so pitiful they haven't even *answered* my query. I think I actually now how to hack the file to add the paper, but it looks moderately painful. -- --- | Alan K.
