Does nobody know how to use large paper on a samba based network
printer from a Windows client? I have seen no replies and it has
been 2 days. Is this too unusual for people? He wants to print
family trees out on much larger paper than what one typically
uses. If I don't figure this out, he is going to demand that
the printer be taken off of the Linux box and put on a Windows
machine. I'd prefer not to do that.
