But there are ImageableArea's for different paper sizes. e.g.:

*ImageableArea A1:"36 36 1648 2249"
*ImageableArea A2:"36 36 1155 1549"
*ImageableArea A3:"36 36 806 1056"
*ImageableArea A4:"135 36 559 806"
etc.. including a stack of "+", ANSI, B, JIS and ARCH sizes and custom sizes.


Anyway, thanks for the help. I decided to install the native windows drivers and configure cups to print raw and push the native drivers instead. That seems to work better with less fuss. There is a weird problem where jobs appear to hang around in the print queue even though they've been successfully printed, but that's minor..
