Hi Friends
AT home like most people I have an A4 printer.
When working in Excel, Visio, and other programs if I want to view what my task will look like when I print it the next day at work on an A3 printer I can't it will only allow me to look at A4.
I have tried downloading Drivers for an A3 printer but they need that I conect to the printer.
What can I do ?
Has any one a solution ???
Thanks Gary

divide the picture to be printed on 2 A4s, print them and attach them together. Is that what you meant?

Thanks for the idea but no, Especialy when using Visio where you will do a drawing to scale, it will show your work space including measurements as A4 (210mm x 296mm) maximum.
I can use the printer at work to print in A3, so for my hobby at present which demands that I need to work at a scale of 1:1, I wish to do my design work at home and then print at work. But at present the drawing hangs of the edge of the A4 sheet.
I work in maintenance and do have the chance to use the computers and printers in the office, but I do not want to abuse my privlages by having to reformat my own work in company time.
Thanks Gary

Another friend on the Net gave me this solution : -
I have a Canon Pixma IP4000 (capable of A4 only)
I downloaded drivers for a Canon IX4000 (capable of A3),installed the drives, as he said selected port LPT1 and set it to work offline in Printers and Faxes.
Thanks Gary
