For weeks I've searched for answers to printing Inkscape documents that involve custom sized documents(using continuous paper on an HP printer. Thank you everyone for the helpful advice and solutions to my problems. Unfortunately, I just could not get the print I needed.
During my searching, I ran across "Poster Printer 1.0 (beta)" located at SourceForge.net. This printer app works GREAT so far. When you press print, Poster Printer shows up as a printer choice.
I've been able to print the documents that would not print with Inkscape, or would not print correctly when converted to pdf or ps files on continuous paper.
Another solution I found was to buy ($18) a copy of "Poster 7" which is a banner/poster maker app. I convert my Inkscape document to a JPEG file, open it in "Poster 7", make the necessary size changes and print. I use Inkscape to create my document and then use either app to print.
"Poster 7" will print just banners to any size (up to 100 sheets long I think) along with posters up to 9 feet tall. "Poster Printer 1.0" resizes all documents to posters so you don't really get a banner but a poster instead. So far, both work great to print from.
PLEASE, Inkscape code writers, incorporate these really useful printing options found in the above mentioned apps. I would think that the usefulness of Inkscape would be greatly increased, at least to users like myself (teachers, etc. with very limited tech. $$$$$).
Does anyone know of other applications that will print banners?
Again, EVERYONE, thank you for your continued help and advice.
