Good Morning, currently we working with the copy station "ricoh africo mp c2500" and a up-to-date manjaro linux at our company. We run into some unsolvable problems regarding the standard pcl drivers and where able to solve them by switching to your gutenprint drivers. But there is one big problem with the driver. It has no option to choose "DIN A6" as paper size. We urgently need this because of our dpd label prints. Is it possible to add the paper size to the drivers? I tried it myself and added the required lines to the ppd but it did not worked :) I've never changed a ppd file and I'm sure I made mistakes. Could you send me the correct lines for the ppd or updated driver please? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Nähtechnik & Produktionszubehör Steve Merkelbach Inh.

You should be able to select Custom paper size and input the actual size of this page -- can you check that, please? -- Robert Krawitz <rl...@al...> *** MIT Engineers A Proud Tradition http://mitathletics.com *** Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- http://ProgFree.org Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton |
