Hi Bob,

I am only quoting from the hardware documentation for the printer that lists
it's limit, and that limit is listed not dependant on any OS, or driver or
anything.

I also don't know that what you say is true or not...as I have never printed
using Illustrator or Coreldraw, but I do know I tried using AutoCAD, and it
was limited to something like 44".  I also know nothing about the 7500.

I'll try Illustrator 7 right now.  OK, it tells me in the set-up, when I
select "User Defined" paper size that I have a maximum limit of 4400 0.01
inch in Illustrator 7, so that says that the 44" limit exists with the Epson
3000.

Could you point me to where Epson claim that the 3000 will print to 227"
with Illustrator?  I mean, it should be possible to simply chain printing
without moving the paper, with a special driver, and basically print in 44"
increments forever!  I don't know why they would even limit it to 227".

Just FYI, my 1270 using "User Defined" from Illustrator shows 12,900 0.01
inch maximum length.  Seems it's not an Illustrator or OS issue if that's
the case!

Austin
