Re: I hate the bastards
HP used to be great at handling odd paper sizes. Used an HP5si for about 20 years. I don't know how many times I sent it a datasheet formatted for A4 paper. Every time I walked over to see the "load A4 tray1" message I just had to hit the enter button on the printer and it would ask "press enter to print on plain letter".
I miss that 5si, but it eventually started eating more paper than it printed. Even the maintenance kits didn't fix it. Plus some sensors started to die...
(Yes, I know A4 is not a strange paper size in the rest of the world)
