paper size selection

Hi there

Meanwhile, I think it is not on the non windows end. If I loog at a registry for a printer opreated through cups and compare it to a printer that prints to file, I can see why the paper sizes are not listed:

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Print/Printers/....

I have
..../test/DSDriver/printMediaSupported
This lists the paper sizes We would like to use (A1, A0 ...)

however under
..../Providers/LanMan Print Services/Servers/FS/Printers/djet650
there is now key named DSDriver, the keys listed are:
/DSSpooler
/PrinterDriverData

None of these two keys has an entry like printMediaSupported

Will this get someone going and give me a hint on how to get A1 and A0 selectable for my designjet?
