Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printer Page/Paper Size?

This may or may not be of help.

Are you sure it says "11 x 17" and not "17 x 11"

Windows may not match a "17 x 11", but if you define your own and format 
a "11 x 17" might work.

The key is how the software interprets the printer driver in regard to 
paper length and width.

IE: I don't know what a 17" wide piece of paper is so I won't do it vs I 
know what a 17" long piece of paper is and I will print in landscape.

It is an issue which a friend of mine (Thanks Marc) came to with a 
document that would not print an Excel spreadsheet in landscape properly.

Hope it helps
