.cdsplotinit and trying to print schematics on 11x17 paper

Miguel V

Hi,

We recently installed new printers which have the option of printing to standard Letter size (Drawer 1) or 11x17 (drawer 2).  I added the printer to my .cdsplotinit file however, every time I select 11x17 in the plot options, it still prints to Letter size.  Here is what I have in 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:

What more do I need to add to get it to print to the correct paper size?

Thanks

    Hi Miguel

    Thanks for creating the new thread. Would you please have a look at COS article 11149694? I have fixed the broken link issue.


    Best regards
    Quek

    Hi Quek, for some reason, I can log in here just fine but when I click on the link, it asks me to log in again and tells me that my account is expired.

    The logins are linked but there are more restrictions on the support.cadence.com account. I suggest you send an email to support@cadence.com and ask them to reset your online support login (explain that it's expired and what is happening).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
