The "page length" instruction is what tells the printer what size paper to insist on, but in landscape mode this has little (no?) effect. The trick is to set the paper size, THEN set the orientation, THEN set things like margins. Heather Trueman, of the Arts&Science computer facility here, sorted this one out after a lot of experimenting. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
