Plot Previews not working with cryptic paper sizes

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have created a PC3 file for our HP-1055CM plotter which uses the
Optimized Windows System Driver.
When calling the ".GetCanonicalMediaNames" method for this PC3-Device,
the paper size values returned are very cryptic, (Ex: User1308,
User284, etc.).

Instead of displaying these meaningless values to the user, I also call
the ".GetLocaleMediaName" method for each of the paper sizes returned
via ".GetCanonicalMediaNames".

However, though I can plot successfully using the Canonical (cryptic)
name values, while displaying the Locale paper sizes to the user, I
cannot display a plot preview using either the Canonical or Locale paper
size values.

Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks in advance!

Mark I have never had the trouble you are describing. Can you post some
code?

Regards,
