Default paper sizes missing from printer

Post by estebanramos3 »

Hello everyone!! I've been looking around the forum but didn't quite find the answer to my problem. PDF Printer works OK, but I can't use some of the most commonly used paper sizes because they don't show up. I'm using the latest Bullzip & Ghostscript versions, on a Non-English XP SP3 install. (already uninstalled and reinstalled printer and ghostscript).

These are the sizes I get:
A3, A4, A5, A2, A6, LetterSmall, A0, A1, A4Small, A7, A8, A9, A10, ISO B0, ISO B1, ISO B2, ISO B3, ISO B4, ISO B5, ISO B6, JIS B0, JIS B1, JIS B2, JIS B3, JIS B4, JIS B5, JIS , 6, C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, ARCHE, ARCHD, ARCHC, ARCHB, ARCHA, ARCHE1, ARCHE1 Half, FLSA, FLSE, HalfLetter, PA4, and Custom Page Sizes
(almost every page size suppoerted, but......)

These are the ones I need, but can't use...
Letter, Ledger, Legal, Note, 11x17. I'm guessing everyone uses Letter on almost a daily basis, and I use Tabloid (11x17) a lot as well....

I end up printing in some similar page size (like A4), but I know that when printed, it will be scaled down.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Solved. It seems that the ghostscript lite distribution may have some issues with this. Downloaded and installed the full version of ghostscript and the missing paper sizes now show up. How come I didn't think of this before.......
Thanks anyway.
