Visio 2003 Printing Super B Drawings

[Dave Wendel]

I am trying to print 13x19 pages on the hp deskject 9650 with Visio 2003 on
Windows XP. The items will print (if the output quality is changed each
time) but always to 8.5 by 11. The paper size is set to Super B (13x19) and
the drawing size is set to same as the paper size.

Any ideas???

What is the printer default? 8.5x11?

I print to a HP1000 at 11x17, but my setting for the page is 11x17 rather
than "same as printer"

I modifed two settings:

Set default paper size to 13x19 in the default printer configuration This
was set for the drawing but the printer default was 8.5x11. It appears Visio
forgets to look at the Page Setup.

Specified the page as custom 13x19 rather than "same as printer"

It now appears to print correctly on 13x19 paper.
Thanks,
Dave
