Modify standard paper size

I'm using a HP5500 color laserjet N. In ldd2005 I want to modify my 11X17
paper size so it is .1 on all margins. It keeps setting it to .17 but this
is clipping the border when I plot. These are borders provided by our State
DOT.

In ldd3 I can change the margin all the way down to 0.0 if I want with no
problems. I don't get it. Both programs are using the same printer driver.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Todd

 

You may need to trick the the printer with another paper size used for
your acad application but yet have the printer use the smaller size
media. You will then need to set an X and Y start point for your actual
print location of image on your page. Your acad preview will look out of
place but the final output will be ok once all is set for your desired
look. Some trial and error will be required to get a final good looking
document.

I have done this to get a few odd size plots to work and get around the
printers set non-print margins.

You could use the larger media and trim down as a plan B option.

But I don't have any of these issues at all in LDD3. Why now in LDD2005?
