Thanks.  I didn't really need the scale: I was using different software to measure and I measured the width and height incorrectly.  The print is about 650x225 pixels in your photo and if the paper is 13 inches tall with about 1/4 inch white space top and bottom, that gives a print of about 12.5 x 35.9 inches.  Pretty close.  So it looks like at some point, you had used a Microsoft/Windows driver that incorrectly allowed print lengths beyond the Canon 26.61 inch spec.  I'm guessing you probably wish you could find/reinstall that old driver but I have no idea how you would obtain Windows "stock" drivers from the past.

Drivers from the past would be great!  However if i "printed to file" (and I can at that size) how do i get that to the printer?  Just a thought . . .

Well that wont work.  Must be time to send them out or get a new printer   Roll Eyes

Yeah, as I'm sure you found out, that won't help.  Technically you could create a file but whatever you use to try to print it will have the same limitations because all software (outside of those expensive RIPs) will be bound to the driver.

Thanks!  This was a very informative discussion.  I learned a lot.

I have been following this thread with great interest and really have nothing significant to contribute, but I am curious, did you follow Mike's earlier suggestion and open your automated job log in Qimage?  My job log has every job I have EVER printed, going back over 16 years,  two computers and three printers ago. Yes it takes a half a minute or so to open, but it might at least tell you the answer as to what/how you did this. Just curious.

Yes i did look at the log.  Unfortunately Qimage was reinstalled as new about 2015 after a system crash.  No info there to account for what happened.  I've been using Qimage since at least 2003.  It's a great utility!
