.cdsplotinit setting for plotting on 11*17

armthy

 Hello,

We added a new printer (Ricoh MP C3502). I was able to add it to .cdsplotinit and print both color and B&W in A size.

How do I make it print B size? What should the B Size 11*17 syntax read?

I have been experimenting but it always prints only on A size. Below is my printer information.

                pkgrd03|Ricoh MP C3502: \

                :manufacturer=Hewlett-Packard: \

                :type=postscript2: \

                :spool=lp -dpkgrd03 -o nobanner: \

                :query=lpstat -opkgrd03: \

                :remove=cancel $1 pkgrd03: \

                :resolution#1016: \

                :maximumPages#10: \

                :black#1:cyan#1:magenta#1:yellow#1:blue#1:red#1:green#1:white#1: \

                :paperSize="A" 7500 10100: \

                :paperSize="Legal" 7500 13150: \

                :paperSize="A4" 7350 11170 330 330:  \

               :paperSize="B" 3165 4953 66 86:

    Hi armthy

    You will need to include a PPD file in order to select the correct tray for a postscript printer. Please see COS article 11149694 for more details on PPD setup.

    Best regards

    Hi Quek,

    The link to that article is dead so I cannot view it, ut I am having the same issue.  Here is my .cdsplotinit:

    Secure_Print|Canon iR-ADV C5250/5255 PPD: \
         :manufacturer=Canon: \
         :type=postscript2: \
         :spool="lp -onobanner -o sides=one-sided -dSecure_Print": \
         :query=lpstat -oSecure_Print: \
         :remove=cancel $1 Secure_Print: \
         :resolution#1016: \
         :maximumPages#10: \
         :residentFonts: \
         :PPDFile=/etc/cups/ppd/Secure_Print.ppd: \
         :paperSize="Letter" 612 792: \
         :paperSize="11x17" 792 1224:

    Ever time I try to print to 11x17, it prints to "Letter" rather than the correct 11x17 tray.  What more do I need to add to my .cdsplotinit to get it to print to the correct tray?
