To continue from lower (sorry. ;-( ), 17x11 is a size. (Called

what you say, it is not what it was intended to suggest.

Officially confused,
Ledger=17"x11"
Tabloid=11"x17"
These are "North American paper sizes" Wikipedia
Ansi B defines the measurements as 11x17 with alias's of Ledger
and Tabloid.
Print dialog of kpdf lists Ledger as 11x17, no Tabloid
Print dialog of Evince lists Tabloid as 17x11, no Ledger entry.
Both just the opposite of North American paper sizes, though I
will not assume to know which standard the cups devs used..there
are quite a few.

If it is a one time go, The Gimp open PDF.
Thanks for the reply.
I do have solutions, evince and epdfview do the job. This is a
core business function.
Tried TDE R14 with Wheezy, same...tried the newer hpcups
driver and the older hpijs driver no joy.
I would prefer to use kpdf, probably used to work at some time,
need to find out what changed. The devs are spending alot of
time getting all the apps to work, afaikt, thought I would test
..again, kpdf. I usually use 'best of ' apps for business, it
is getting harder to do with all the apps being part of desktop
environments.
