Canon Imageprograf PRO-300 borderless 11x17

[zjdev]

Printing on the Canon Imageprograf PRO-300, Canon's Windows "Professional Print & Layout" software allows very nice borderless printing on 11x17 (see attachment).

As the printer seems to support this, is it possible to enable in TurboPrint? Manually editing a config file would be acceptable.

Thanks!

Hello,

you can add the size "11x17 Borderless" in the file

/usr/share/turboprint/printers/Canon_imagePROGRAF_Pro300.tpp

Add a new page size at the end of the [Size..] entries:

Code: Select all

[Size27]
Name=11x17" Borderless
Sizeid="na_ledger_11x17in"
Size=11196,17274
Margins=0,0,0,0
Borderless=1
Param=0,0,600,0

and execute from a Terminal window

Code: Select all

sudo tpsetup --update

This will rewrite the PPD files so the new page size will be visible in the print dialog of applications.
