Custom paper height limit

[Ivan Mica]

Thanks for a quick reply. Do you see some way, how to discover, whether this is a driver limit or a printer limit? As I do not see any technical reason, why the printer could not print on "infinite" plotter paper - and I do not understand the driver issue. Is there any hope to cross such a limit?
