[NMLUG] capturing snapshots of long HTML pages
Great idea, but "no joy."
I selected a Lexmark inkjet, then I selected "banner" as the default
paper. With no paper definition on the Linux print system side, I was
unable to select a "banner" paper to print to.
I'm looked through everything I can think of to create a "custom paper
size," and I haven't found anything yet.... Well, I do that that one
TLOS (that legacy operating system) machine in the house.... maybe I can
do it from there... :-(
