Re: afp print driver. how to get overlay landscape mode.

[Gqcy <gmufasa01@xxxxxxxxx>]

ok, I got it to work....
the word is "hokey"

in Word, I change the form size to "Tabloid", which is 11x17.
I changed the orientation to Portrait.

In the AFP print driver, I left everything alone (portrait, page size 
11x17), but on the CROP, I said the bottom margin as 8.5...

It works.
