    11 x 17 print template?

    smah's right- Excel gives you all the options in paper size regradless of which driver you have selected, ie it knows nothing about the actual printer

    canon 6500 form XP p prints small

    Might be the wrong driver or driver settings- if the resolution's wrong by a factor of 2, you get 1/4 size.

    Can only print PCL (pjl) file from Linux

    Have you tried printing a simple text file (like etc/hosts which I always use as a quick test), as opposed to the PCL file which is full of escape sequences?

    I need printer mfr/model database

    Have a star, bisawest. With all the Googling I've been doing, I can't believe I didn't find that site myself, so thanks v. much. (Pity it's only HP & Lexmark.......... )

    Number of Copies

    Having said that.... is there anyway in which the quantity has been set on the printer itself, to override your request for copies? You can do that on eg Xerox DocuSP based printers.

    Print Job Size

    I don't think you can calculate it... so much depends on how the driver constructs the page. But what you could do, is do a Print-to-File and see how big that file is. That shold be the same as what gets to the printer.

    Number of Copies

    First Law of Questions is to include some detail. Make, Model, Printer Driver, OS, network/local, application, always/intermittent etc all help readers to think about your problem. People are more likely to spend some time on your query if there's enough detail....

    parallel to USB

    Apparently, the USB port is not addressable as eg USB: a la LPT etc, so scratch that idea....

    parallel to USB

    Well the mode command shown above would redirect LPTx to the COMx port, so I'm wondering if it would accept USB as a port.... try MODE LPT1:=USB: But I dunno if the USB is addressed as "USB:" like other ports are? Worth a try I guess?

    parallel to USB

    In DOS you can divert stuff between ports using the mode command thusly: MODE LPTn[:]=COMm[:] Maybe it would work with USB?

    PCL drivers

    Here's a history of PCL
  14. HamishZA

    PCL drivers

    Well PCL1 probably wasn't called PCL1 at the time, since 1st editions of anything don't usually get a number. It would have become known as PCL1 retrospectively once PCL2 came out. So maybe PCL1 could be what they mean by "just" PCL? But it's something like 20 years old.

    I need printer mfr/model database

    Help I'm still looking!! The Katun site didn't help, but thanks anyway. We're analysing a lot of printer fleets with some software which captures the characteristics of each print job, and tots up the figures per printer and user over say 30 days. BUT for each printer, I need to enter the...

    no 'N' when I print

    Alternatively, use a Thesaurus to help you chooses synonyms which don't use the letter n [wink]

    no 'N' when I print

    This strikes me as some kind of translation table thing, but can't for the life of me think where! Here's just a few quick thoughts, to help with diagnosis: Make a plain text file in say Notepad, and in a Dos window, COPY it to the printer at LPT1: assuming it's local. That might help isolate...

    hp psc 1350 all in one prints only 1/4 of a page

    Do you mean it's printing the whole page, but 1/4 size at top left, or only printing 1/4 of the content? If it's the former, it might be that the resolution is out by a factor of 2 in the driver or on the printer's panel of it has one.

    How can I build a Pring charing system?

    Also try Pharos. Their Uniprint system does exactly what you want. Off the Glass does the same for copying.

    Print to file, using wildcard to form filename

    Can't you do some kind of concatenation in the name, along the lines of filename = "myfile" & time & ".prn"
