IIRC you have to go through the printer installation process a second time, and choose the "roll paper" version. This will set up the roll paper option as if it were another printer, which you then choose when printing to roll paper. When printing, just set up a custom paper size with the width of the roll and the length of your print plus a small margin for handling. I set the margins to zero and manage everything from Photoshop. Don't be tempted to use the borderless driver with this, as it screws up the resulting print dimensions. I'm not sure how well an 88 inch print will go... there was a maximum length limit (44"?) but that may have been removed in a more recent driver version. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
