Thank you for the response.
Yes, its an HP printer... and I'm also certain that HP printers do support PostScript just fine (HP support didn't say otherwise either).
So.... were is that darn setting??? Why wouldn't Acrobat Reader show the whole document in the printer set-up window? Why does it show 10 inches in dark indicating that that section will not be printed?

Maybe a shot in the dark here, but maybe your printer settings should be modified too? I'm unfamiliar with the printer model you are using, so I'm not so sure about this with that particular model, but if I recall correctly, there are some models of printers which will not allow you print out custom sized documents unless you either specify how may pages will the "document" span and tell the printer to use continous paper feed instead of let it manage this on its own.
I find it rather odd that not even printing from a PDF worked for you, as the PDF is virtually a "file render" of a print-out (well, postcript is too), and (I'm not sure, but I believe you are using an HP printer?) I'm certain that HP printers do support PostScript just fine, so maybe there's a setting in the driver or printer dialog that you have to enable to be able to print larger documents spanning multiple pages?
Only a suggestion.
