QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thai,

There's no trouble printing your images "horizontally".   I do it all 
the time.
You have to create a custom paper size for it.   Remember width is 
still width
and length is length.   The standard A2 is 17 width and 22 length.   If 
you want
22 width and 17 length then you have to create that paper size.  Also
remember "portrait" means don't rotate the image, "landscape" means 
rotate
the image.

Borderless is not supported.
