 Hello.

I have a big problem here. I can't set a custom paper size por any printer! (EPSON Stylus Office T1110 or CUPS-PDF)

I tried:

1- Create a custom paper size on the cups configuration (http://localhost:631/printers/) and set 320x1110 mm to deafault. And then, in bricscad... the papar size since to be A4.... and the 320x1110 size never appear in the menu.

2- Create a own ppd file, using this tutorial: http://forum.bricsys.com/discussion/14714
But other problem appear... when i select the 320x1110mm from the list.. in briscad appear  0.00x0.00  when i select this on the list.

3- Usin the button "CUSTOM PROPERTIES..." on the ploter menu... do nothing... (in the cups-pdf and the epson printer)

HOW I CAN CREATE AND USE A 320X1110mm paper size without marging in bricscad?

IF I COULD GENERATE A PDF FILE WITH THIS PAPER SIZE.. THE PDF VIEWER CAN PLOT NORMALLY IN THE EPSON PRINTER!!... ONLY BRISCAD IS THE PROBLEM!!!

    That is right, the "Custom Properties..."  button is valid on BricsCAD(Windows) only.  We should hide it from being displayed on other platforms, it has been noted as a TODO.

    To add a custom paper size on linux, see "Manage custom sizes..." in the Paper size dropdown list of the print dialog.

    That said, you might find it more practical to export to PDF, then print the PDF.
    Exporting and export options are both accessible from the File menu.

    Brilliant! I've been managing this by editing ppd files, a PITA. This is much easier.
    Just note you have to leave and return to the print/page setup dialog for the new size to appear in the drop-down list.

    Thank you so much.
