How to configure cups to use continuous form paper for dot matrix printer


Hi,

I need to setup a dotmatrix printer which prints in continuous form computer paper. I don't see any configuration in web interface specific to this paper type..

During installation in setup->media size it lists [ letter, A4, legal, wide ].. which one should I choose? ( I've to use 8.5 x 11 size continuous paper )

Umm...I'd go for the size the paper has and let the printer (driver) handle the "paperwork"...
Tied just to select the size and do a printout? Given the right driver, I bet it can be done...
A DOTmatrix? Yikes....
Been a zillion years since I last saw-n-heared one
