Re: printer setup has no Ledger or 11x17 option
which driver are you using (I don't see a listing for that model)
http://www.question-defense.com/2010...inux#more-6920
has some instructions, if you don't have 64bit, ignore the first step
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...tml#MFC-5890CN
Don't know what options it provides, however

I'm not sure where to go from here, maybe file a bug report with Brother?

However, I don't think that's going to install any more than what I already have. I think it just finds the right downloads for you, does the package installs and the links.

Re: printer setup has no Ledger or 11x17 option
I think to get to Ledger, I simply need to choose Tabloid and change from Portrait to Landscape (or vice-versa). I was unaware that these two were the same size, rotated, until I just did a little research.
I asked here first because there were 30-some choices in the drop-down to research... :P
I plead ignorance to paper names nuances because I try to stay paperless!

Re: printer setup has no Ledger or 11x17 option
I don't bother unless its letter, legal, or #10, else it means I have to do something work-like though that means I am underutilizing my old brother 1440 laser printer I got for free -- the repaiman though it was broken. My company gave it to me, and it has been printing reliably (though seldom used) for 2 years now in linux
