Right--but there is a setting in the "EFFECTS" area of the PCL 6 driver that resets itself automatically to "print on letter," regardless of paper size.
Nothing I do on the PCL 6 driver (from Windows Update) will prevent that setting from resetting itself.
Here's what I want to do for now using Windows 8 :
1. Print at 1200 dpi out of PS or PCL 6--UPD does not seem to allow for
1200 DPI out of Windows 8 as far as I can tell. Windows PCL 6 driver allows for 1200 DPI but has a host of other issues.
2. Figure out how to get rid of that automatic reset to "print on letter" I described above on the PCL 6 driver.
3. Figure out whether I will be wasting money on buying a duplexer for use with these Windows 8 drivers. I can't test, since nobody I know has a duplexer I can borrow.
4. Find a method to install the PCL 6 driver so Windows 8 quits telling me "it isn't installed so you won't have all the properties available." I'd like to have the driver install, and I'd like all properties to be available.
