i'm trying to set up a customer who has two printers attached to their
computer
one is some sort of okidata color laser printer, which seems to work fine
the other one is a brother HL-4040CDN, which prints fine from a Linux based
application such as open office.
when i try to print from a program in wine, however, I can't for the life
of me get it to print properly to legal sized paper, it doesn't complain
about paper size or anything, it simply crops the print size to that of letter
sized paper even though I tell it the paper size is Legal.
I have tried setting the default paper size on the printer's firmware
settings, I have tried setting the paper size in cups both through the printer
preferences applet and the web interface, i have tried telling the program to
print to legal paper and the only thing i can affect is which end of the paper
it prints to, i have even tried different drivers for CUPS, i'm not sure if
the problem is wine, the program, the printer, or how wine talks to the specific
printer via cups (the other printer prints fine)
i am using ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10
the software in question is Funeral Data Manager by Mindvision
any ideas?
