    does anybody know why HP can not fix these paper sizes? what is the latest size "format"? the reason why im asking is that i've saved 11x17 scaled to fit in all our drawings for easier printing. when we updated the drivers, the saved setup was looking for the old "Tabloid" format. So its dropping the paper size and does not automatically grab the next 11x17 but goes to custom which does not give me the same plot as before.

    im redoing our setup but if i choose any of these, there is a risk that the same name will not appear or maybe be slightly different when we upgrade to newer drivers and cause it to drop it again.

    ive worked around the problem of large sizes by creating our company name large format sizes. so it grabs it whether i change driver or change plotter for that matter since our plotter name is also generic.

    ive tried adding custom (company name) sheets for 8.5x11 and 11x17 but since im using the windows drivers to create my pc3's, im only allowed to custom one and it does not even allow me to rename the paper size to make it company generic.

    does anybody have any suggestions on this? thanks in advance
