    I'm using a HP5500 color laserjet N. In ldd2005 I want to modify my 11X17
    paper size so it is .1 on all margins. It keeps setting it to .17 but this
    is clipping the border when I plot. These are borders provided by our State
    DOT.

    In ldd3 I can change the margin all the way down to 0.0 if I want with no
    problems. I don't get it. Both programs are using the same printer driver.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Todd

    You may need to trick the the printer with another paper size used for
    your acad application but yet have the printer use the smaller size
    media. You will then need to set an X and Y start point for your actual
    print location of image on your page. Your acad preview will look out of
    place but the final output will be ok once all is set for your desired
    look. Some trial and error will be required to get a final good looking
    document.

    I have done this to get a few odd size plots to work and get around the
    printers set non-print margins.

    You could use the larger media and trim down as a plan B option.

    But I don't have any of these issues at all in LDD3. Why now in LDD2005?
