Need to Print Large Format w/out page breaks

[Scott Carter]

Using Pub 2000 on WXP. Have 42" wide HP Designjet 5000.
I can't set page size greater than 49" in length (height)
without having it automatically tile it. I'm using roll
feed, but it still tiles it. I get the full 42" width no
problem. I even set up Custom Paper size to fit the
publication. I tried ZoomSmart, no help. ANYTHING
greater than 49" long gets tiled. Where does this number
come from? Is there a maximum page size Publisher wants to
deal with? I would think it'd be printer dependent. I've
tried every setting and every paper size and scaling and
roll feed and sheet feed, but I haven't found the magic
combination. A simple example will be to set it up to
print an image 42" x 60" if someone can give me the exact
way to get this done.
Thanks -
Scott

Publisher does not send printer data for page sizes longer or wider than
48".

Design your pages in Publisher at half the width and height that you want
printed, set the page size in Publisher to half the width and height that
you want to print at, and then when printing set the paper size to the
correct size and invoke Zoom Smart.
Hopefully this should do it.
