Print pdf with cups over German Fanfold paper (8.5x12)

martinfpas · 12-25-2019, 06:21 PM

i´m trying to print a pdf using libreoffice headless command. The printer is connected direct to the server (Ubuntu 18), and i can print 1 page without problem, but the documents larger than that, the printer leave large white spaces between the pages. The paper size destination is German Fanfold 8.5x12.

Is there any body that faced this issue?

Thanks in advance.
Martin

I don't know that I can answer your question, but, not being familiar with the term "fanfold paper," I did a web search, which told me that it refers to perforated paper of the sort that is used with dot matrix printers. Just to be precise, are you printing to a dot matrix printer?

Oh, and welcome to LQ.

Hi Frank, nice to meet you.

Yes,exactly, "Germany Standard Fanfold" it's a paper standard size like A4 or Letter, but it's a continuous type.

I have to apologize to all, I'm using an Epson lx300 printer, dot matrix technology.
