Thanks Jonathan. I think you're right that it's a hardware feature not supported by the driver. I managed to get acceptable sizing by hacking the ppd file, but cannot get rid of the borders. Oh well, this is not something we'll use a lot anyway (too expensive compared to something like shutterfly.com).
This is one of two recent cases (for me) where a hardware vendor has done a less-than-stellar job of producing a proprietary driver for Linux. The other was an Edimax PCI wireless card that I installed last night into my wife's PC. I already knew that their Linux driver had many problems, but bought it anyway because I also knew that the Windows drivers could be made to run with ndiswrapper (see ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net). Sure enough, it's working perfectly. -- Rod On Thursday 11 November 2004 08:37 am, Jonathan Stickel wrote: > I just looked at my CUPS web interface settings for an HP printer I > have.
