    At this point I don't think that the Gutenprint drivers can handle those paper sizes. The PPD can only produce the page sizes listed. Also, I see that Custom page sizes are not available.

    Robert, the OpenPrinting site shows that the Savin 4075 can use the Savin PXL driver which contains both the requested sizes -- Fanfold German Legal and Statement. Getting Foomatic and Ghostscript on the Mac is very difficult as there are a lot of dependencies that have to be met befor the source code is compiled. Is it possible to add these sizes or to allow Custom Sizes for Gutenprint? I don't know if this is possible without a PCL maintainer. The OpenPrinting PPD can be viewed at:

    Hi.
    with pxlmono, yes it prints in size 8 1/2 x 13, but pxlmono old this prints very slow aprox.10 min for a single image. with the new pxlmono it prints very fast although if I rotate the image to print, the sheet comes out blank, ", only if I turn it".
    If I delete "-dNOINTERPOLATE in FoomaticRIPCommandLine" it prints fast though again if I rotate the image the sheet goes blank, only if I turn it.
    Am I lost in something? Thank you.

    I do seem to recall that there was slowness with pxl drivers using foomatic-rip and ghostscript. I do note your post abrout a Ricoh printer with the same problem on the OpenPringing site. I cited the PPD from OpenPrinting only to show what Savin says the printer can do. All that said, the Gutenprint site does not support anything other than Gutenprint. I am sorry that the Gutenprint drivers cannot meet your needs at present.
