Printing on different sizes of paper
My printing seem to be set up right but I can only print to 8 1/2 x 11. I want to be able to print to 11 x 17 or any other available paper size. I can select the the size from the system print dialog but it always prints to 8 1/2 x 11.
Is there a trick to print to any size paper or is there something I missed?

1.1 or 1.2 printing?
If you have a PageFormat object, you can use getImageableHeight() and getImageableWidth() to determine your printable area.

I am using Java 1.3 and all I want to do is be able to print to 11x17 or 8 1/2x11 depending on which was selected from the system print dialog.
Any chance of seeing the relevant parts of your code?
Also exactly what is happening when you try to print to different paper sizes, is the print image getting truncated?
