TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hi,

Turboprint works beautifully with my Epson r265. But what is the reason for the maximum paper height of 44 inches in the custom paper size? I have a roll of inkjet paper from which I can cut pieces of any length - I'd like to make some panoramic prints that are 8 inches wide and about 60 inches long. I know the printer will do this no problem, as I've done it before with other printer drivers.

The current limit is 44 inches (which is the limit specified by Epson). I don't know if there is a limit in the printer firmware. If you are interested, you could try the following:

To increase the max. custom page size edit the printer definition file

/usr/share/turboprint/printers/Epson_StylusPhotoRX560.tpp (this is the compatible driver used also for the R265).

Search the section

[Size0]
Name=Custom
Custom=1
Minsize=3000,3000
ANumber=4
Size=8500,44000 ;width x height in 1/1000 inches
Margins=120,120,120,120,540
Param=99,0,0,0

In the line "Size", change 44000 to the desired length, e.g. 60000.

Thanks, I will try this.
