Hi Phil,
I have tried with the followings jres: jre 1.5_12, jre1.6_3, jre 1.6_EA_5. The
printer I am using is Epson LX-300+II. The operating system is windows XP sp2.
I have also tried in UBUNTU. I have set the paper size in the server properties
of the printer, but it takes the size that it considers is best for printing
(A5) instead of the size that I am trying to set.With another program like
wordpad the printer takes the custom paper size I have se in the server
properties of the printer.
