Digital BW, The Print

I checked my Epson 2200. It will allow sizes as small as 3.5x3.5 inches for
User Defined page sizes. If anyone wants to, they can change the minimum
sizes in the PPD file to reflect what their driver allows.

Edit the ppd file with a text editor. You can use Notepad, but it does not
show line breaks.

Look for "ParamCustomPageSize". You will find several, the ones of interest
are the "ParamCustomPageSize Width" and "ParamCustomPageSize Height", There
are some numbers following these the word "points". The first number is 504
for both "Width" and "Height". Change it to 252 for the Epson 2200. This
number is the number of points for the minimum width and height. There are
72 points to an inch, so if your printer has a minimum different from 3.5,
you can compute the correct value.
