Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
I'm afraid I'm blaiming cups for this because I can't figure out what
package the Canon BJ330 driver comes from.
The BJ330 is a wide carrage printer capable of printing 14" wide on 14
7/8" form feed paper. But there is no option for this paper in the
driver, and none of the options available will work with this paper. It
is obvious that the driver writer knew that this is a wide format
printer since 11x17 is supported. This does not help, because it is not
the same aespect ratio as the form feed paper, and 11x17 paper must be
loaded portrate mode since 17" is wider than the 15" platten. 11x14 7/8"
form feed paper can only be loaded in landscape mode.
Yes I need to buy a new printer. I dragged this printer out of my scrap
pile when my i9900 failed just in time for taxes. Some of the forms I'm
trying to copy have such fine print they are illegible if printed on an
8.5x11 page on the BJ330.
