Firstly does kprint support A5 for your printer? i.e When you go to print in a kde application and you get the print dialog box up and go to "Properties-->General-->Page size" does it show A5 as an option? ============================================ If it does you should be able to set up a printer instance for your printer using the lpoption command lpoptions -p <printer>/a5 -o media=a5 Replace <printer> with the name of your printer queue Now if you at your printer list you will see another printer listed with /a5 extension - use that when you want to print A5. Please refer to the cups Software Users Manual for "Printer Instances" http://localhost:631/sum.html#5_7 This is a very handy option as it allow you to specify a special set of options to do a specific task, without the hassle of remembering and setting the options each time. I use it for things like duplex printing and setting page sizes, it makes life a bit easier. ============================================= If the A5 page is not listed, there is a problem with your ppd file. I could not see your printer listed at http://www.linuxprinting.org/ so I don't know what ppd file you are using. It is possible to modify your ppd file to include a A5 page size but it is not for the faint hearted. The best thing to do is see if there is another ppd file available that supports A5 for your printer. If not let me know and I will see if I can help you adding the A5 page support to your ppd file. Can't guarantee anything. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately it doesn't show/support A5 :-(

That is the reason you can't print A5. Can you indicate which ppd file you are using for this printer and what it is compatible with. Have you tried any other ppd with this printer? If you send the ppd file to me privately I MAY be ale to add in A5 paper support. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
