TOPIC

After upgrading to LaserWriter 8.4.x from LaserWriter 8.3.4, I can no longer select a custom page size in my Page Setup dialog. I am printing to an imagesetter which supports various paper sizes, and have been able to input custom page sizes with prior versions of the LaserWriter 8 printer driver. What is wrong?

DISCUSSION

As of LaserWriter 8.4, support for custom page sizes was removed from the LaserWriter 8 printer driver. This feature was not implemented well, so it was removed. There are plans to incorporate custom page sizes again in later releases of the LaserWriter 8 printer driver using a new and improved user interface.

Workarounds

  • Use the Adobe PS Printer driver
  • Use the LaserWriter 8.3.4 printer driver. The Famous Apple!
